Indian and Chinese armies.
India and China have completed the disengagement process in the conflict areas of Demchok and Depsang in eastern Ladakh. After this process, the two armies also completed a round of patrols. Both sides agreed to conduct coordinated patrols in these areas on a weekly basis to ensure the effective implementation of the disengagement process. This coordination takes place at the local level, with ground rules determined in consultation between local commanders.
The Indian and Chinese armies are abiding by previous agreements reached on Demchok and Depsang issues, which were aimed at maintaining peace and stability along the border. Through patrols, both sides ensure that the disengagement process is properly implemented. In addition, both parties also agreed to demolish temporary structures in these disputed areas. It is clear from the agreement that the two countries have taken concrete steps to ease long-standing tensions.
India and China to conduct patrols on different dates
Neighboring countries agreed to withdraw troops from the two areas in October, following which coordinated patrols were conducted for the first time in early November. According to defense sources, Indian and Chinese soldiers will patrol each area on separate days. Through this arrangement, it will be ensured that neither party has to face conflict situations and peace on the border will be maintained.
Latin America and Caribbean negotiations continue
Negotiations between local commanders will continue to maintain stability along the LAC. These talks were attended by brigadiers and officers of similar rank who sought to make the disengagement process more organized and effective. The purpose of these meetings is to ensure peace between the two countries and resolve any new issues. On this basis, future arrangements for the peaceful settlement of any possible disputes were also discussed.
Gifting sweets on Diwali
On the occasion of Diwali on October 31 this year, Indian and Chinese soldiers once again maintained the old tradition of giving candies to each other. This move is a positive signal to promote friendly relations between the two militaries. The exchange of sweets between the two countries is a symbol of peace and cooperation on the border, indicating that India and China are moving in the direction of strengthening relations through dialogue and coordination and eliminating mutual differences.
Tensions rise as a result of this incident
From June 15 to 16, 2020, Indian and Chinese soldiers clashed in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh. 20 Indian soldiers were killed in this conflict, and many Chinese soldiers were also killed. It is said that their number was almost twice that of Indian soldiers. However, China has never officially disclosed the actual number of its troops. After this incident, relations between the two countries deteriorated and border tensions intensified.
