00:07 have come to an agreement aimed at swiftly diffusing tensions along the line of actual

00:19 2020 in the Galwan Valley of eastern Ladakh.
00:24 This pivotal accord was reached on the sidelines of the BRICS summit held in South Africa,
00:28 where leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa convened to discuss
00:34 global and regional issues.

00:56 concerns on the unresolved issues along the LAC in the western sector of the India-China
01:04 border areas.
01:06 Prime Minister underlined that the maintenance of peace and tranquility in the border areas
01:13 and observing and respecting the LAC are essential for the normalization of the India-China relationship.
01:23 In this regard, the two leaders agreed to direct their relevant officials to intensify
01:30 efforts at expeditious disengagement and de-escalation.
01:37 The core focus of these efforts is to ensure that peace and stability prevail in the border
01:41 regions and that both countries uphold the principles of the LAC, a crucial factor for
01:47 fostering a stable relationship between India and China.
01:51 This significant development follows the 19th round of India-China Core Commander Level
01:55 Talks held on August 13-14 at the Chushul-Moldo border meeting point on the Indian side.

02:17 an open and forward-looking perspective in line with the guidance provided by their respective
02:22 leadership.

02:30 holds the potential to contribute to regional stability and diplomatic cooperation.
02:35 The agreed-upon measures reflect a shared commitment to resolving disputes through dialogue
02:40 and maintaining peaceful relations between the two Asian giants.
02:44 The scope of disengagement and the specific locations along the LAC where it will be implemented

02:57 been outlined for potential phased disengagement in specific areas.
