BEIJING, Dec 25: It was a breakthrough year in India-China ties after a near freeze in their ties for over four years – the longest since the 1962 war – with an agreement to end the eastern Ladakh military standoff.
After “amassing of a large number of troops by China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh” in April-May 2020, as External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said in a recent statement in Lok Sabha, resulting in the Galwan valley clash in June 2020, there had been a breakdown in the relations between the two Asian giants.
The post-1962 war chill lasted till the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s visit to Beijing in 1988.
