NEW DELHI: Indian and Chinese troops exchanged boxes of sweets on Thursday (Oct 31) at two points on their contested high-altitude border, a week after the leaders of the Asian rivals held a rare meeting.
China and India, the world's two most populous nations, are intense rivals and have accused each other of trying to seize territory along their unofficial divide, known as the Line of Actual Control.
