According to sources, the armies of India and China have completed the process of withdrawing together from the Depsang and Demchok areas. This process is especially important because for the first time since the tension increased on the border in 2020, both the countries have reduced military activities at this level.Disengagement and further planningAfter the disengagement between the two countries, now dialogue is starting at the local commander level. Under this, new rules of patrolling will be decided between the local commanders. Patrolling is expected to resume on the LAC in the coming days. This will help in improving the level of trust and dialogue between the armies of the two countries.Exchange of sweets: Signs of peaceAccording to sources, soon sweets will be exchanged at the border posts between India and China.

This will not only restore trust between the two countries, but will also strengthen peace and stability in Asia.
