China, India end border standoff ahead of likely Xi-Modi, BNN meeting Bloomberg
(Bloomberg) — India said it has ended a four-year border standoff with China, an important step toward easing tensions and paving the way for a possible meeting between the leaders of the two countries with nuclear weapon at a BRICS summit this week.
Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, India's foreign minister, said an agreement was reached on Monday to allow border patrol operations to resume in both countries. This means that the disengagement process with China is, as one can say, over and the border situation is returning to what it was in 2020, he said at an event in New Delhi.
Relations between China and India have been frozen since June 2020, when clashes between soldiers along the disputed Himalayan border left at least 20 Indians and an unknown number of Chinese dead.
China's Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for further information.
The announcement came a day before Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi are scheduled to attend the BRICS summit in Russia, paving the way for a possible bilateral meeting between the two leaders.
Modi and Xi last met on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Johannesburg in 2023, although they have not held formal bilateral talks since the Group of 20 leaders met in Bali in 2022.
Jaishankar said there would be follow-up meetings to plan the next steps.
This creates a basis for peace and tranquility in the border areas, which should be and existed before 2020, he said on Monday. That was our main concern because we always said if you find peace and quiet, how can you expect the rest of the relationship to continue.
Gradual progress has been made in resolving the border crisis since the 2020 clashes, although momentum picked up this year following meetings between the two countries' foreign ministers in July.
Earlier on Monday, Indian Foreign Minister Vikram Misri said a series of discussions had taken place over several weeks to reach an agreement.
The two countries share a 3,488-kilometer (2,167-mile) unmarked border between them. Both sides moved their warplanes, artillery guns and missiles closer to the border as tensions rose, while thousands of troops were also deployed. The border patrol agreement would be the first step toward moving troops around and continuing normal patrol operations.
Following the 2020 clashes, India imposed strict rules on Chinese companies seeking to invest in the country, banned hundreds of Chinese apps and slowed visa approvals.
