The Chinese and Indian military began withdrawing troops from the joint border in the area of Lake Pangong-Tso. This was announced on Wednesday, February 10, by the press Secretary of the Ministry of Defense of the People's Republic of China Wu Qian.

"According to the consensus reached during the 9th round of negotiations at the level of military command between China and India, the advanced units of the Chinese and Indian Armed Forces in Pangong Hunan and on the north coast simultaneously began to organize a withdrawal on February 10," the official said.

A new round of tension between China and India over the territories in Ladakh began in May 2020. Throughout the month, skirmishes between the military of the two countries took place on the disputed Indian-Chinese border, accompanied by the transfer of additional contingents and weapons from each side. In addition, a mass brawl involving about 400 soldiers from both sides took place at one of the sites in Eastern Ladakh.

In June, the PRC opened fire on the Indian military, saying that they had illegally crossed the state border. As a result of the shelling, three people died, and 17 more died from their wounds later. The Chinese side blamed India for the incident.

On August 31, the Indian Ministry of Defense announced a new clash with Chinese troops in the border region of Ladakh, which occurred, according to the ministry, on the night of August 30 on the shore of Lake Pangong-Tso. It was reported that the Indian troops took measures to strengthen their positions and did not allow China to "unilaterally change the situation." As a result of the collision, 20 soldiers were killed.

On September 10, China and India reached an agreement to respect the agreement to avoid any actions that could aggravate the situation around the border conflict.
