India and China refused to back down from competing territorial claims while stepping up diplomatic efforts to "cool down the situation on the ground", following a violent clash in which at least 20 Indian soldiers were killed in eastern Ladakh region.
Both sides continued to blame the other for the violent clash on Monday night, indicating that no immediate resolution of territorial differences would take place.
