India and China have been involved in talks to ease the ongoing border tensions since last month.

Ajay had tweeted about the clash last month, writing, "Salute every soldier who laid down his life protecting India's border & honour. Jai Jawan, Jai Bharat Folded handsRIP Brave Hearts My thoughts are with your families during this hour. #GalwanValley #IndianArmy."
