India and China agree on phased disengagement
The government said on Friday that following the disengagement of Indian and Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh, it is not in the interest of either side to prolong the remaining boundary issues between the two countries.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and China s State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a conversation over phone that lasted for 75 minutes. The Indian Foreign Minister told his Chinese counterpart that a prolongation of the existing situation was not in the interest of either side. It was, therefore, necessary that the two sides should work towards early resolution of remaining issues , according to a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs on Friday.

It may not be the result of a “package deal to stabilise relations with China”, they say.
The decision of India and Pakistan’s Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) was unlikely to have been purely local, say experts, pointing to the language of the joint statement while declaring an observance of the 2003 ceasefire from the midnight of February 24/25, which has the “imprimatur” of high-level approval on it, though there is little clarity on the nature of the back-channel operating between the two countries two days after the announcement.
