India said it ended a four-year border stalemate with China, a significant step toward easing tensions and paving the way for a possible meeting between the leaders of both nuclear-armed countries at a BRICS summit this week.

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, India’s minister of external affairs, said an agreement was reached on Monday to allow border patrolling operations in both countries to resume. That means the “disengagement process with China you can say is completed,” and the border situation returns to what it was in 2020, he said at an event in New Delhi.
