| Disengagement of Troops with China Provides India a Small Opening |
| 2025-02-17 |
| [OneIndia] India's recent troop disengagement with China in eastern Ladakh offers a slight diplomatic opening, according to foreign policy expert C Raja Mohan. However, he emphasised that significant challenges persist. Mohan highlighted the importance of India enhancing its relationship with the US to boost technological and economic growth. Despite some easing, such as resumed flights and visas, 50,000 troops still face each other, and a $100 billion trade deficit remains. India and China have announced measures to mend ties, including resuming the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra and restoring direct flights. These steps aim to normalise relations following troop disengagement in eastern Ladakh. The announcements came after talks between Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong in Beijing. Mohan noted that while military disengagement has occurred, de-escalation is yet to be achieved. |
