India-China Border Disengagement Agreement

India and China have reached a significant disengagement agreement after a lengthy standoff along their border, with Foreign Secretary Vikram Mistry announcing the arrangement for patrolling along the Line of Actual Control. The agreement addresses both legacy issues and the recent face-off situation at critical areas in eastern Ladakh, which had seen heavy troop deployments since the onset of hostilities in 2020. The negotiations intensified in recent months, leading to a commitment from both nations to restore patrolling routes and manage border tensions. The pact is seen as a critical step towards improving bilateral relations, although both sides express differing views on the broader implications for their diplomatic ties going forward.
