NEW DELHI (AP) — India and China have agreed to work urgently to achieve the withdrawal of tens of thousands of troops stationed along their disputed border in a long-running standoff, India’s government said.

Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar met his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, on Thursday on the sidelines of Association of Southeast Asian Nations meetings in Laos, where they stressed the need for an early resolution of outstanding issues along the disputed Line of Actual Control, the long Himalayan border shared by the two Asian giants.

As long as China claims Arunachal there can be no end to the conflict.

Arunachal is undebatably part of the Indian continental landmass
Arunachal is also the source of the Brahmaputra, which feeds over 400,000,000 people

India controls Arunachal. China can say whatever they want. That's not a reason not to work for peace at the border, particularly since we stand to gain significantly from having more trade with China.
