India and China Resume Patrolling After Disengagement in Ladakh

Following a recent agreement, Indian and Chinese troops have resumed patrols at key points in Ladakh, paving the way for improved bilateral relations.

The Indian Army has successfully resumed patrolling at the Depsang and Demchok regions in Ladakh after reaching a disengagement agreement with China.
This development follows a consensus reached during bilateral talks between Prime Minister Modi and President Xi Jinping at the BRICS Summit in Russia.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar highlighted the progress in disengagement as a positive step towards normalizing India-China relations, which were strained since 2020.
Satellite images confirmed the removal of Chinese structures in the disputed areas, supporting the verification of disengagement claims.
Despite the progress, large deployments of Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control remain, and further diplomatic steps are anticipated to address ongoing issues.
