Troops from China and India revived a ceremonial border meeting on Friday to mark India’s 69th Republic Day, sending a friendly signal after a months-long military stand-off in the disputed Himalayan border area last year.
According to Indian media reports, Chinese and Indian armies held ceremonial exchanges, or “border personnel meetings”, at Daulat Beg Oldie and Chushul in Ladakh – two of five designated locations along the 3,488km Line of Actual Control (LAC). The other three locations are Kibithu and Bum-La in Arunachal Pradesh, and Nathu La in Sikkim.
Both sides saluted the national flag of India and delegation leaders gave speeches seeking to uphold treaties and agreements signed between the two countries and maintain peace and stability along the border, the reports said.
