An agreement to put in place more confidence building measures to keep peace on the Line of Actual Control is all set to be signed during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s three-day visit to China that began on Tuesday Oct 22,2013
The Border Defence Co-operation Agreement, first suggested by the
Chinese side in 2012, and for which negotiations began in March 2013, comprises a new set of confidence-building measures for border
management. According to officials, this will provide an additional
mechanism that builds on the 1993 Peace and Tranquility Agreement. It is
