China and India withdrew troops from the remaining two friction points on their disputed Himalayan border, ending a four-year stalemate that soured relations between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
The two sides will start coordinated patrolling of the border outpost with limited number of troops once military commanders decide on the modalities, a senior Indian official said Wednesday, asking not to be identified as the discussions are private.
