India, China Agree Not to Add Troops on Disputed Himalayan Border

VOA News

   India and China have agreed to not send more troops to a disputed
   border region in the Himalayas, where their respective troops engaged
   in deadly hand-to-hand fighting in June.

   A joint statement released Tuesday says the agreement was reached after
   talks between senior military officials from both countries the day
   before. The statement said both nations have agreed to "avoid
   misunderstandings and misjudgments" that would lead to any further
   clashes in the strategic cold desert region of Ladakh, which borders
   Tibet.
