Opening of Galwan Valley for tourists on 5th anniversary of India-China troops clash delayed
Monday, 16 June 2025 () Plans to open Galwan Valley hot springs for tourists on the fifth anniversary of the deadly clash have been delayed due to incomplete war memorial construction. The Ladakh administration and the Indian Army are collaborating to build supporting infrastructure in the area. Permit regulations are being amended to ease visitor access, with the opening expected soon after the memorial's completion.
China has said it is ready for talks with India to negotiate and manage the long-disputed border following a direct push by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh. The statement comes days after Singh met his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at the SCO meet in Qingdao.
Singh had urged for a permanent solution to the LAC demarcation and troop de-escalation, referring to a “structured roadmap” for resolving tensions. Beijing responded that while the border issue is complicated, established diplomatic and military mechanisms are in place, and both sides must work to keep peace and stability. The 2020 Galwan Valley clash — which claimed 20 Indian and at least 4 Chinese soldiers — had tanked bilateral relations, but recent developments such as talks resuming and Kailash Mansarovar Yatra reopening signal cautious optimism. Both sides have agreed to continue dialogue through Special Representative mechanisms and cross-border initiatives.
