Jaishankar said- The next step is to de-escalate the tension on the China border: This is possible only when India is convinced that China wants the same.

On the agreement between India and China regarding patrolling on LAC, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that withdrawal of troops is the first step. The next step is to reduce stress.

At a press conference in Mumbai on Sunday, the External Affairs Minister said that tensions between the two countries will ease only when India is convinced that China wants the same. After de-escalation of tensions, there will be a discussion on how to manage the border.

Apart from the India-China dispute, Jaishankar also spoke about the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Jaishankar said – India did not give any reply at that time. When we talk about zero tolerance against terrorism, it is clear that when someone does something, he will be answered.

We will not tolerate you doing business by day and terrorism by night and I have to pretend that everything is fine. India will not accept this. This is change.

A day ago, at an event in Pune on Saturday, Jaishankar said that sticking to the Indian government's word has worked. There are two reasons why we have reached where we are today.

First, we did not go back on our words, this was only possible because the army stood firm at every opportunity to protect the country and diplomacy did its job.

Secondly- We have also improved our infrastructure in the last decade.

Jaishankar said – I think that due to these two reasons, the issue of patrolling on the India-China border dispute has been resolved.

Why did Jaishankar say this…

In fact, there has been tension between India and China for four years over the border dispute in eastern Ladakh. After two years of long negotiations, an agreement has recently been reached. Both armies will withdraw from the disputed points of Dapsang and Demchok.

18 October: Information came out of the retreat from Dapsang and Demchok. It was said that from here both armies will return to their previous positions from April 2020. Also, it will patrol the same areas it was patrolling before April 2020. Apart from this, commander level meetings will continue

In 2020, there was tension in Depsang and Demchok after fierce clashes between Indian and Chinese troops. After almost 4 years, a new patrol agreement was signed between the two countries on October 21. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said the aim was to prevent Galwan-like clashes in Ladakh and restore the status quo.

October 25: From Friday, October 25, Indian and Chinese armies have begun to withdraw from the eastern Ladakh border. According to news agency ANI, both the armies have removed their temporary tents and sheds at Demchok and Depsang points in eastern Ladakh. Vehicles and military equipment are also being withdrawn.

According to army sources, both countries will completely withdraw their forces from Depsang and Demchok by October 28 and 29. A limited number of soldiers have been assigned for patrolling. Information about what this number is has not yet surfaced.

Depsang: According to the Indian Army, soldiers will now be able to go to patrol points 10, 11, 11-A, 12 and 13 in Depsang for patrolling.

Demchok: Patrol Point-14 ie. Galwan Valley, Gogra Hot Springs i.e. PP-15 and PP-17 are buffer zones. Reports quoting sources said patrolling here would be considered later. A buffer zone means a place where the two armies cannot come face to face. This zone separates opposing forces.
