In
a breakthrough ahead of the BRICS summit, India and China on Monday agreed to
withdraw their troops from the disputed Doklam area, ending a nearly
three-month standoff between the armies of the two countries that led to a
sharp escalation in bilateral tensions.
The
Indian External Affairs Ministry broke the news on the development on Monday
morning, which was shortly followed by the Chinese Foreign Office confirming
the disengagement.
The
External Affairs Ministry statement said "In recent weeks, India and China
have maintained diplomatic communication in respect of the incident at Doklam.
During these communications, we were able to express our views and convey our
concerns and interests".
"On
this basis, expeditious disengagement of border personnel at face-off site at
Doklam has been agreed to, and is ongoing." The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
Indian
Army sources in New Delhi also confirmed that the process of disengagement was
in progress. The Total Investment & Insurance

The
decision to disengage their troops comes ahead of a crucial BRICS (Brazil,
Russia, India, China, South Africa) summit being hosted by China on September
3-4, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
The
Chinese Foreign Ministry said that India has withdrawn its troops from Doklam
but Chinese troops will "remain in the region" and exercise their
"sovereignty over the region".
Its
spokesperson Hua Chunying said that Chinese border troops will "continue
to patrol in Donglong", which India refers to as Doklam, in the Sikkim
sector.
"On
the afternoon of August 28, the Indian side pulled back all the Indian troops
and equipment to the Indian side of the boundary and the Chinese personnel have
verified this," Hua said.
"The
Chinese side will continue to exercise its sovereignty and uphold its
territorial integrity in accordance with historical conventions," she
added.
Asked
if the disengagement was from both sides, Hua repeated the same
statement.
This
is in contrast to India's statement that both countries have agreed to
"disengage" in Doklam.
The
standoff began on June 16 when Indian troops stopped a People's Liberation Army
contingent from building a road in Doklam, which is in the tri-junction of
China-Bhutan-India. The Chinese side refused to withdraw, and instead accused
India of transgressing into its territory. The Chinese side, especially the
state media, since then has been on an offensive, and on occasions issued
veiled threats of war. The Total Investment

India
has maintained that both sides should withdraw simultaneously for any dialogue
on the issue, and asserted that war was not a solution.
Amidst
the standoff, Prime Minister Modi met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Hamburg
on the sidelines of the G20 summit, while National Security Advisor Ajit Doval
held talks with his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi in Beijing on the sidelines
of a BRICS security meet.The Total
