China confirmed on Tuesday that it has reached a historic agreement with India to end the prolonged military standoff in eastern Ladakh. This development marks a significant diplomatic breakthrough after four years of tension.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian stated that the two countries have been in consistent communication through diplomatic and military channels, culminating in this resolution which China openly appreciates. However, detailed information regarding the agreement has not been disclosed yet.

Future cooperation between China and India is expected as both nations work toward implementing the new resolutions. This announcement follows a bilateral meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping during the BRICS summit in Russia. The 2020 Galwan Valley clash had severely strained ties between the neighboring countries.
