Flooding in savannah. India and china have reached an agreement on deescalating tensions along their disputed border really 3 months after the biggest military confrontation between the 2 sides in the last 45 years Foreign Ministers from both countries have been holding talks in moscow the 5 point plan is centered around honoring existing border agreements 20 indian troops were killed in hand to hand combat in june the border area of the northern ludacris which china also claims both sides are prohibited from using arms under a treaty. Ganguli is a professor of Political Science at Indiana University he expressed cautious optimism about the deal. This deal is significant but on the other hand i am still cautious because it lets well wait and see what transpires in the next few weeks and months that will be a crucial test and yes i think both sides can have considerable reasons to deescalate but in the indian case the Indian Economy has cratered in the wake of the covert 19 crisis and the shambolic handling their roles and consequently india can ill afford to devote significant resources to the military at this particular juncture on the chinese side i think the chinese did not want this to become a major distraction as their economy is finally recovering and they are focused on the november elections in the United States big stream be keen on seeing what the outcome is the would probably involve withdrawing troops from eyeball to eyeball contact with one another they would probably involve reducing certain kinds of actual deployments of artillery and other weaponry along a particular band of territory periodic meetings between commanders between local commanders these are the kinds of confidence Building Measures that are extremely likely to follow in the wake of this 5 point agreement.
