After the border commander talks at the Chinese Moldo post opposite Chushul, on September 21 the two sides issued a joint press statement. The statement, which was posted on the website of China's Ministry of National Defence said: "The Chinese and Indian armed forces hold the sixth round of commander-level talk

 According to the Ministry of National Defense website, the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense Wu Qian said that on September 21, the sixth round of military commander-level talks between the Chinese and Indian armed forces was held. After consultation between the two parties, a joint press release was issued. The relevant content is as follows:

On September 21, the Chinese and Indian armed forces held the sixth round of commander-level talks. The two sides exchanged candid and in-depth views on stabilizing the situation in the area of the border control line between China and India, and agreed to earnestly implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries and strengthen the current situation. Communicate locally to avoid misunderstandings and misjudgements, stop adding troops to the front line, not only change the current situation unilaterally, and avoid any actions that may complicate the situation. The two sides also agreed to hold the seventh round of military commander-level talks as soon as possible, take pragmatic measures to properly handle local issues, and jointly maintain peace and tranquillity in the border area."

(Comment: The highlighted portions in the joint statement are new, but appear disadvantageous to India considering it takes us much longer to get reserves up to the front. The Chinese have not stopped adding reserve forces and their communications lines are far swifter. There is also a difference with the PIB version, which states "stop sending more troops to the frontline, refrain from unilaterally changing the situation on the ground". )
