India and China have agreed on new patrolling arrangements aimed at de-escalating tensions along their disputed Himalayan border.
NEW DELHI: In a significant development, India and China have agreed on new patrolling arrangements aimed at de-escalating tensions along their disputed Himalayan border. This announcement comes from India’s top diplomat, Vikram Misri, who emphasized the need for disengagement following years of heightened military standoffs.
During a briefing on Monday, Misri stated, “An agreement has been arrived at on patrolling arrangements along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the India-China border areas, leading to disengagement and a resolution of the issues that had arisen in these areas in 2020.” He referred specifically to the violent clashes in the Galwan Valley, which marked the first fatal confrontations between the two nations since 1975 and resulted in casualties on both sides.

The border tensions, which have strained relations between the two neighbors, have been a point of concern for regional stability. Misri noted that the latest agreement is intended to address the ongoing conflicts that have emerged since the deadly clashes in 2020.
While Misri confirmed the agreement, he did not disclose detailed specifics regarding the disengagement process or whether it would encompass all points of conflict along the contested border.
This diplomatic breakthrough comes just one day before Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to travel to Russia for a meeting of the BRICS nations, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. It remains uncertain if a bilateral meeting between Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping will take place during the summit.
