CNN —India and China have reached an agreement on military disengagement along their disputed border, New Delhi said, a step toward reducing frictions between the nuclear-armed neighbors that comes as both countries’ leaders arrive in Russia for a summit.
Both foreign ministries declined to comment on whether the two leaders would hold formal one-on-one talks in Kazan.
‘A positive development’The violence in 2020 was followed by a process of disengagement and border talks, but friction points have remained, including areas where both sides previously patrolled but have since become so-called buffer zones.
However, even with that restoration, there are other steps that would need to be taken in a long process along the disputed border.
“There are many other issues of de-induction and de-mobilization of troops on both sides; infrastructure that has been built, etc.
