China and India have reached more consensus on withdrawing troops from some parts of the disputed border between the two countries, Beijing said, in a further sign that tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors are easing.
A spokesman for China’s Defense Ministry, responding to a question at a media briefing on Thursday about disengagement at the border, said the two sides have “further narrowed differences and broadened consensus.”
