The two militaries will patrol contested points along the border according to an agreed schedule.
NEW DELHI - India and China have reached a deal on patrolling their disputed frontier to end a four-year military stand-off, the Indian foreign minister said on Oct 21, paving the way for improved political and business ties between the Asian giants.
The two sides had since stopped patrolling several points along the border in the Ladakh region to avoid new confrontations, while moving tens of thousands of new troops and military equipment closer to the freezing highlands. To avoid clashes, the two militaries will patrol contested points along the border according to an agreed schedule, a senior Indian military officer aware of the details told Reuters.
Monthly review meetings and regular monitoring of the contested areas by both sides would ensure there are no violations, he added.
