The last WMCC meeting was held on July 24 after there was a report of slowing down of disengagement process.
It would be the 17th Meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation & Coordination on India-China Border Affairs.
Five rounds of top-level military talks were held to break the deadlock following serious differences between India and China that flared up after transgressions by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) this summer.
