India and China commit to peaceful resolution of border disputes amidst escalating tensions

Chinese and Indian military commanders have pledged to maintain peace and tranquility along their disputed border, according to a joint statement issued by both countries. The talks focused on resolving issues related to the Line of Actual Control in the border's western sector, with both sides agreeing to resolve remaining issues in an expeditious manner. While no concessions were mentioned, both countries expressed a desire to avoid clashes between their troops. The Line of Actual Control separates Chinese and Indian-held territories, and tensions have escalated in recent years, resulting in bloodshed.
