No role of 3rd party in India-China ties

During his meeting earlier this week, Jaishankar conveyed satisfaction over the Indian army resuming patrols in the Depsang Plains and Demchok area after India and China reached an agreement in October 2024. He also conveyed that a "stable border" is the lynchpin of stable bilateral ties between the two countries and recommended that both armies should now focus on de-escalation as five years have passed after the transgression in East Ladakh and the Galwan skirmish between the two armies. Even now both armies have some 50,000 troops along with tanks and heavy weapons deployed on both sides of the 1,597 km Line of Actual Control (LAC) in East Ladakh.
