After more than four years of military standoff, India and China have reached an agreement to end their border tensions in eastern Ladakh. The agreement, which reportedly pertains to patrolling in the Depsang and Demchok areas, marks a significant development in the bilateral relationship. This news comes after several rounds of diplomatic and military talks between the two countries.
India’s Chief of Army Staff, General Upendra Dwivedi, has stated that the situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh is stable but remains sensitive and not normal. While acknowledging positive signals from diplomatic talks, General Dwivedi highlighted that ‘trust’ has been significantly eroded and the execution of any agreements ultimately rests with military commanders on the ground.
India and China have agreed to expedite the withdrawal of troops from their disputed border in a bid to de-escalate the long-running standoff. The agreement came during a meeting between the foreign ministers of both countries, who emphasized the need for a swift resolution of outstanding border issues.
