Troops withdraw from border standoff


THE nation and China have completed pulling back their troops from two face-off points on their disputed Himalayan frontier as planned, according to an Indian defence official.

The nuclear-armed neighbours reached a deal last week on patrolling the frontier in the Indian territory of Ladakh to end a four-year military stand-off, paving the way for improved bilateral political and business ties. The disengagement that began last week has been completed and verification of the process is in progress, the Indian official said on Wednesday.
