In a major <keyword id="22639726" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="diplomatic-breakthrough" source="keywords">diplomatic breakthrough</keyword>, India and China have struck an agreement to defuse tensions along the <keyword id="20140251" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Line-of-Actual-Control" source="keywords">Line of Actual Control</keyword> (LAC), which have been ongoing since the deadly clashes in the Galwan Valley in 2020. The deal, announced just days before the <keyword id="21003379" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BRICS-summit" source="keywords">BRICS summit</keyword>, marks the first concrete step towards restoring peace between the two nations since the conflict began.

Indian Foreign Minister <keyword id="20508657" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="S-Jaishankar" source="keywords">S. Jaishankar</keyword> described the agreement as a return to pre-2020 conditions, effectively resetting the status quo along the contested border. Troops from both sides will be pulled back to avoid face-offs, while joint patrols will be carried out according to a mutually agreed schedule. This is a notable shift from the tense, militarised standoff that has gripped the LAC over the past four years, where tens of thousands of soldiers were stationed in extreme high-altitude conditions. A key feature of the agreement is the creation of a regular monitoring system to ensure compliance. Monthly review meetings will be held to track progress, signalling a long-term commitment to peace. This structured approach, involving both military and diplomatic channels, could lay the foundation for more robust confidence-building measures. The pact also carries significant economic implications. While India had increased scrutiny of Chinese investments post-2020, bilateral trade has continued to rise, with Indian imports from China surging 56% in recent years. Experts see this agreement as a crucial step toward normalising broader diplomatic and economic ties, potentially allowing stalled business projects to resume. Despite the optimism, challenges remain. Experts caution that this is just the first step in what will be a long road to lasting peace. As former Indian military commander Deependra Singh Hooda noted, “At least the impasse has been broken,” but further confidence-building measures will be critical. The resolution of this border dispute could pave the way for deeper cooperation between the two nations, especially in a global context where both India and China are key players in shaping regional stability. For now, the world watches to see how this agreement will unfold in the months to come.

Jaishankar arrived in Japan on Sunday from Laos for a two-day visit for the Quad Foreign Ministers' meeting. He was received by <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India" source="keywords">India</keyword>'s Ambassador to Japan, Sibi George. During the event, Jaishankar spoke about Gandhi's timeless messages. "I would say today, at a time when we are seeing so much conflict in the world, so much tension, so much polarisation, so much bloodshed, it's very important that Gandhiji's message was that solutions do not come from a battlefield, that no era should be an era of war. And that message applies today as much as it did 80 years ago," Jaishankar said. "A second message is something which we all think today in terms of sustainability, of climate friendliness, of green growth, green policies. Gandhiji was the original prophet of sustainable growth," Jaishankar said. Gandhiji was the greatest advocate of how to live in harmony with nature, he said. "So the message of Gandhiji, that it is not just something for governments to do, but for everybody to do in their personal life, that is something which again we pass on. And of course, Gandhiji was an advocate of inclusiveness and that is what we are seeing in India and across the world today," he said. He said Edogawa Ward decided to build a relationship with India by having this wonderful <keyword id="19920733" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="statue" source="keywords">statue</keyword> of "the father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi". In India, the people think of Gandhi Ji as the father of the nation, he said. "But for the world, he is actually a global icon. And we have to ask ourselves today, why is it important to have this statue here? And I can think of three reasons. One is that the achievements of Mahatma Gandhi have far outlived his own times, with the passage of time they have got more and more importance." Second, the message that Mahatma Gandhi gave through his life and through his work is timeless, he said. "What he taught us was important then, it is important even now. And three, I was told this is a place, somebody called it Little India, I hope it becomes bigger, but this is a place where the Indian community in Tokyo lives and gathers in large numbers. And I cannot think of a more appropriate occasion and a better way of strengthening bonds between India and Japan than by this event," Jaishankar said. He said without Gandhi, India's independence struggle would perhaps have taken a much longer path or gone in a different direction. The independence of India actually decolonised the entire world, it was the starting point of a "very momentous event", he said. "When India became free, other parts of Asia became free, Africa became free, Latin America became free...Today when we say India is the fifth largest economy in the world, where the world is changing, it is heading towards multipolarity, that when the G7 becomes the G20, in a way, all this was started as a result of what Gandhiji did in history," he said.
