In a promising development, the militaries of China and India are making significant strides in implementing a disengagement agreement aimed at resolving a more-than-four-year-long standoff in eastern Ladakh. China's Defence Ministry highlighted the progress during a Thursday briefing.

At a regional security conclave in Laos, Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun had a constructive meeting. The two leaders agreed on the execution of a settlement designed to stabilize military relations.
