India and China have made significant strides in resolving border tensions, particularly in the Depsang and Demchok regions of eastern Ladakh. Following the deadly Galwan Valley clash in June 2020, both nations engaged in multiple rounds of diplomatic and military dialogues to address the standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). By late October 2024, these efforts culminated in a mutual disengagement agreement. Troop withdrawals and dismantling of temporary structures were completed by October 28-29, with coordinated patrolling resuming shortly thereafter. The process was marked by symbolic gestures of goodwill, including the exchange of sweets between Indian and Chinese soldiers during Diwali on October 31. The creation of buffer zones in certain areas has been a contentious issue, with ongoing negotiations to address concerns from both sides. Furthermore, the broader geopolitical landscape, including China’s strategic activities in neighboring regions like Bhutan, adds complexity to the bilateral relationship. The disengagement at Depsang and Demchok represents a positive development in India-China relations. However, sustained dialogue and confidence-building measures are essential to ensure long-term stability and prevent future conflicts along the LAC. “Disengagement Process Between India and China at Depsang and Demchok” explores the military standoff, diplomatic negotiations, and strategic implications of the de-escalation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
