Prime Minister Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping held crucial one-hour talks at the SCO summit in Tianjin, focusing on LAC disengagement progress since their October 2024 Kazan breakthrough. The leaders acknowledged successful disengagements in Depsang and Demchok plains, which restored patrolling rights and reduced border tensions. Over 11 months, extensive bilateral, military, and diplomatic discussions have built momentum toward LAC normalization. Four areas including Pangong, Galwan's PP-14, Gogra, and Hot Springs have completed disengagements, though patrolling hasn't resumed everywhere. Both sides reaffirmed commitments to prevent disputes from escalating and maintain peace essential for bilateral relations. The meeting signals renewed focus on Corps Commander-level dialogue to address remaining issues and restore pre-Galwan status quo along the disputed border. (PC: X)
