China says reached ‘resolution’ with India on contested border issues

BEIJING: &nbsp, China said on Tuesday ( Oct 22 ) it had reached a “resolution” with India over issues related to their disputed border, after New Delhi said it had struck a deal with Beijing for military patrols along the frontier.

China and India have just maintained contact with one another over issues relating to the China-India borders through diplomatic and military programs. Now, the two edges have reached a decision on the appropriate issues”, foreign ministry official Lin Jian told a typical briefing.

The two most popular countries on earth, China and India, are fierce rivals and have frequently accused one another of attempting to seize territory along their illegal border, a constricting stretch of land known as the Line of Actual Control.

Both sides retaliated, pulling up tens of thousands of troops, and agreeing not to deploy guards into the Line of Actual Control in the wake of a border skirmish in 2020 that resulted in the deaths of at least 20 Indian troops and four Chinese people.

Lin said Tuesday that Beijing “gives its good approval” to the offer.

” In the next stage, we will work with India to properly implement that resolution”, he said.

Lin did not specify whether the agreement made it possible for Xi Jinping and Narendra Modi to meet directly at the BRICS conference in Russia this year.
