"The latest agreements will only be valid for Demchok and Depsang and not other places. This agreement will not be applicable to other friction zones.

Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has emphasised that disengagement is merely the first phase, with broader goals of de-escalation and trust-building. He noted that while equipment is being pulled back to rear bases, a full resolution will require time and ongoing efforts to restore stability and mutual trust.&nbsp;

Jaishankar explained that the agreement centres on three core aspects: immediate disengagement, subsequent de-escalation, and, eventually, the third "larger issue of how do you manage the border and how do you negotiate the boundary settlement."

India and China on Monday (Oct 21) have reached an agreement on patrolling along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), said Indian Foreign Secretary&nbsp;Vikram&nbsp;Misri.

Misri said that negotiators from the two neighbouring nations had been in touch over the past few weeks to resolve the remaining issues.

"...As a result of the discussions that have taken place over the last several weeks, an agreement has been arrived at, on patrolling arrangements along the line of actual control in the India-China border area, and this is leading to dis-engagement and eventually a resolution of the issues that had arisen in these areas in 2020,"&nbsp;said the Indian Foreign Secretary.
