The crucial Border Defence Cooperation Agreement was signed between the two countries during Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s state visit to China last week.
Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun told a press conference in Beijing that, “Relevant military personnel and departments may hold regular meetings” to continue to promote mutual trust in the Line of Actual Control.
He added that, “the Chinese army is willing to work with India to constantly promote mutual trust, enhance cooperation and maintain peace and stability of the border areas so as to benefit relations between the two countries”.
The two countries already have hotlines between the two prime ministers Offices.
A military hotline would be a direct communication link between the armies of the two neighbours.
