India and China have reached an agreement regarding the yearslong military stand-off in eastern Ladakh, said Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Russia to attend the BRICS Summit, Misri said that India and China have reached an agreement regarding the patrolling arrangements at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.
“As a result of discussions that have taken place over the past several weeks, Indian and Chinese diplomatic and military negotiators have been in close contact with each-other in a variety of forums and, as a result of these discussions, an agreements has been arrived at on patrolling arrangements at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the India-China border area, leading to disengagement and a resolution of issues that had risen in these areas in 2020,” said Misri.
India and China had been engaged in a military stand-off in eastern Ladakh since early 2020 when Chinese soldiers crossed over and attacked Indian personnel. The incursions, and the Galwan clashes in June 2020, plunged the bilateral relationship to its lowest since 1962 when the two nations fought a war.
