The recent agreement between India and China regarding patrolling along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) marks a significant step in addressing tensions that have persisted since 2020. This agreement aims to restore patrolling rights in key areas and facilitate the disengagement of military forces.

The ministry of external affairs said that India has arrived at an agreement with China on patrolling along LAC. China has also confirmed the development.

Tensions between the Asian powers had flared in recent years following a border clash that left at least two dozen soldiers dead.
