China, India complete pulling back troops from border region, Indian media say An Indian media outlet says India and China have completed the withdrawal of their troops in part of disputed border areas.

The outlet reported the news on Wednesday, citing Indian military sources.

China’s Foreign Ministry did not mention the completion of disengagement at a news conference on the same day.

But it said China and India recently reached resolutions on border-related issues, and that their frontier troops are implementing the resolutions.

The two countries had been at odds over a tentative demarcation line in the contested border. Both sides suffered casualties there during fighting in 2020.

Last week, Beijing and New Delhi reached an agreement on patrolling arrangements.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met in Russia last Wednesday. During their first formal talks in five years, the two leaders agreed to seek ways to resolve border issues.

Attention is focused on whether the border disengagement will pave the way for further improving bilateral relations.
