India and China agree to de-escalate border tensions

ai generated text

India and China have reached an agreement on patrolling arrangements along their disputed Himalayan border, aiming to de-escalate tensions in the region. This agreement comes after a fatal confrontation in the Galwan Valley in 2020, the first such incident since 1975. The agreement is seen as a diplomatic breakthrough in the four-year standoff between the two nations, with Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirming the pact. The deal allows for specified patrolling arrangements in the contested border areas, marking a significant step towards resolving the long-standing issue. Notably, this announcement was made shortly before the BRICS summit in Russia, where both Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping were scheduled to attend, fueling speculation about a possible breakthrough in their relations.

    1. It's important for both sides to shoulder our international responsibilities, set an example for boosting the strength and unity of the developing countries, and contribute to promoting multi-polarisation and democracy in international relations.

    1. Over the last several weeks, Indian and Chinese diplomats and military negotiators have been in close contact with each other, and as a result of these discussions, an agreement has been arrived at on patrolling arrangements along the LAC in the India-China border leading to the disengagements and a resolution of the issues that had arisen in 2020.

    1. If we have a situation with China where both sides can now start engaging on the vexing issues, it doesn't mean that you'll suddenly be taking the relationship from one to 100.
    2. There will always be issues with us and a neighbor like China. It won't be a free-flowing relationship.

    1. There is no clarity about the Line of Actual Control (LAC) or the border that divides the cheerless landscape between the two countries.

    1. We'll probably hear him saying, 'I made the Chinese walk back from what they did in 2020, and few other countries and few other Indian governments have ever accomplished this.'
    2. It's a political success as far as Modi is considered.
