India and China to withdraw from disputed border area by Monday (Sept 12)


NEW DELHI, Sept 10 (Reuters): Indian and Chinese soldiers will disengage at a disputed area along a remote western Himalayan border by Monday (Sept 12), India's foreign ministry has announced, after more than two years of a standoff following a deadly clash.

The disengagement, which comes after several rounds of talks between senior military officials, is part of efforts by New Delhi and Beijing to avoid an escalation in tension between the nuclear-armed Asian giants that went to war over their border in 1962.
