India and China have resolved The Two- Week Border Stand Off in Ladakh


India and China have resolved the two- week stand off  at Ladak border by withdrawing the soldiers from both the countries.Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj told reporters in New york that both nations have sat down and resolved the issue. Timelines have been decided and it is described as a big accomplishment.

"The bad phase will end and by September 30th, the withdrawal of troops will be completed. I talked about this with the Chinese Foreign Minister. I believe this is a big accomplishment," she added.

Border Stand Out
Both India and Chinese armies were locked in a stare-down at Chumur in Ladakh since September 11, which clouded Chinese President Xi Jinping's three-day India visit last week.For days, over 1,000 soldiers of the Chinese PLA and 1,500 Indian Army personnel were engaged in an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation in the area. Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised it twice with the Chinese president but nothing changed at the time.

Tension erupted when some Chinese workers crossed over with equipment to build a road up five km deep inside Indian territory.

A marathon flag meeting between the two armies on Thursday facilitated an end to the crisis.

China is believed to have agreed not construct the disputed road and India will not construct observations points and bunkers in the disputed area.
