India, China to pull back troops from border confrontation
NEW DELHI – India and China have agreed to pull back their troops from a face-off in the high Himalayas where China, India and Bhutan meet, signaling a thaw in their months-long standoff, India's government said Monday.
India's Ministry of External Affairs said India and China have had diplomatic exchanges in recent weeks over the situation on Doklam plateau in the eastern Himalayas. "During these communications, we were able to express our views and convey our concerns and interests," the ministry said in a statement.
India said both sides had agreed and have begun the process to withdraw their troops from Doklam.
