US Played No Role In India-China Border Disengagement

WASHINGTON DC, (ANI) –The US State Department has welcomed the ‘reduction in tensions’ along the India-China border following the recent disengagement of troops of the two countries, along the Line of Actual Control.

Spokesperson, Matthew Miller, said that Washington is closely monitoring the situation, and it also discussed with the Indian side on the matter, but also added that the US has not played any role in the resolution.

“We are closely following the developments, and we understand that both countries have taken initial steps to withdraw troops from the friction points along the LAC. We welcome any reduction in tensions along the border,” Miller said in the daily press briefing on October 29.

Meanwhile, the disengagement process in the Depsang and Demchok areas of the Eastern Ladakh sector is almost over, India said.

On October 25, the Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed that frontier troops of both nations are engaged in “relevant work” in line with the agreement reached on border issues.

The border standoff between India and China, which began in 2020 in eastern Ladakh along the LAC, was triggered by Chinese military actions and led to a prolonged strain on bilateral relations.
