The latest information said that finally two foreign ministers of both China and India spoke on the phone and agreed to abide by existing bilateral agreements to ensure peace and tranquillity on their disputed Himalayan border.
Indian analysts were divided on the next steps, but there were less strident voices that wanted New Delhi to refrain from joining a US-led anti-China bloc, not least because agreements with China were predicated on a presumption of neutrality.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi agreed to establish tranquility and vowed to implement the disengagement understanding of 6 June sincerely.
The Indian statement further said that neither side would take any action to escalate matters and instead, ensure peace and tranquillity as per bilateral agreements and protocols.
