India-China Relations: India and China reach agreement on patrolling along LAC

In a major thaw in the India-China relations, the two countries have reached an agreement on the patrolling arrangements along Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh. The agreement was reached ahead of the BRICS Summit which will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping. On agreement on patrolling at LAC, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said, "...As a result of the discussions that have taken place over the last several weeks an agreement has been arrived at on patrolling arrangements along the line of actual control in the India-China border area and this is leading to dis-engagement and eventually a resolution of the issues that had arisen in these areas in 2020."
