Speaking at a daily news briefing, ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Chinese troops would continue to patrol the disputed Doklam region. 


Earlier on Monday, India`s foreign ministry said it had agreed with China to an "expeditious disengagement" of troops at the disputed border area.


The move comes ahead of a summit of the BRICS nations - a grouping that also includes Brazil, Russia and South Africa - in China early next month.
