India maintains troop presence along northern frontier amid China talks.

India has no plans to reduce its troop deployment along the northern frontier during winter, the country’s Army Chief announced on Monday. He emphasized that any adjustments to summer deployment will depend on the progress of ongoing negotiations with China.

New Delhi and Beijing reached an agreement in October 2024 to address a four-year military standoff that had strained relations between the two neighboring powers. However, the resolution process remains under close scrutiny as both nations navigate the complexities of restoring trust and stability along the contested border.
