(44,511 posts)3. Modi and Xi meeting: India and China agree to 'de-escalate' border tensions
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-66613040
India and China have agreed to de-escalate tensions along their disputed border after a conversation between its leaders, a senior Indian official said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping spoke on the sidelines of the Brics summit in South Africa on Wednesday. Beijing said the meeting was held at Mr Modi's request.
Relations between India and China have been worsening for more than three years. The two world powers are facing off against each other along their ill-defined 3,440km (2,100-mile)-long border - known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC) - in the Himalayan region.
Mr Xi and Mr Modi met on the sidelines of the Brics summit in Johannesburg. The Brics countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - are often seen as a counterweight to the Western-led world.
On Thursday, Indian Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra said that both sides had agreed to step up efforts for the disengagement of troops along the LAC. "The Prime Minister underlined that maintenance of peace and tranquility in the border areas and observing and respecting the LAC are essential for the normalisation of the India-China relationship," Mr Kwatra said.

But the timing might be back in his favor soon.
