Indian, Chinese troops exchange sweets at several border points on Diwali

Troops from India and China exchanged sweets at several border points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) to celebrate Diwali. This traditional practice occurred after the completion of disengagement at two friction points in Ladakh, improving relations between the two countries. The exchange took place at five Border Personnel Meeting points along the LAC. Talks will continue at the local commander level to ensure ongoing peace and cooperation. A recent agreement between India and China has helped resolve issues that arose in 2020 and has led to the disengagement of troops in eastern Ladakh.
