India and China have pulled back troops from part of their disputed Himalayan border in a breakthrough agreement.
Indian and Chinese troops had been clashing on the north and south shores of Pangong Tso lake, which lies in territory claimed by both sides.
“We have been able to reach an agreement on disengagement in the north and south bank of the Pangong Lake,” said India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
A spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of National Defence said "synchronised and organised disengagement" had begun as a result of diplomatic talks between the neighbours.
The withdrawal is a breakthrough after a fatal clash between the two troops in June.
