Need "Full And Sincere" Disengagement: India To China On Border Issues

The matter was discussed on phone today between Foreign Minister S Jaishankar and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi

India has asked China to ensure "full and sincere" implementation of an agreement between the two nations for complete disengagement from all friction points in eastern Ladakh. The matter was discussed on phone today between Foreign Minister S Jaishankar and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, who called to offer "China's sympathies" to India as it fights a deadly second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. "Also discussed the issue of full and sincere implementation of the Moscow Agreement of complete disengagement at all friction points along the LAC and full restoration of peace and tranquility in Eastern Ladakh. Agreed to continue discussions in this respect," Mr Jaishankar tweeted. India and China had reached a five-point agreement to resolve tensions in eastern Ladakh when Mr Jaishankar and Wang met in Moscow in September last year on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) conclave.
