在周四的媒体简报会上，中国国防部发言人针对两国边境撤军情况答记者问时表示：“中方与印方进一步缩小了分歧并扩大了共识。”根据记录，在外交和军事渠道上保持密切对话交流的中印官员表示双方同意增强沟通、体恤彼此正当关切，并尽快寻求一致解决方案。
自2020年6月的边境冲突事件以来，两国关系长期处于冻结状态。那次冲突导致至少20名印度士兵及若干中国军人死亡。期间，在多轮外交和军事会谈中，双方在解决边界危机方面取得了逐步进展。
在此背景下，北京发言人的话与近期中印高级别会晤相关。中国外长Jaishankar在7月老挝会议期间与印方进行了接触，而印度国家安全顾问则在本月早些时候的俄罗斯BRICS峰会上侧面参与了对话。
在周三于纽约发表演讲时，Jaishankar透露：“目前中印两国在东部拉达克地区解决了大约75%的部队撤退问题。”他接着表示，“现在的主要挑战是巡逻，我们需要确定双方如何在实际控制线附近进行巡逻。”

新闻日期：2024-09-27
原文摘要：
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.” Chinese and Indian officials have maintained close dialog and exchanged opinion on the border issues via diplomatic and military channels, spokesman Zhang Xiaogang , according to a transcript of the briefing. “The two sides agreed to strengthen dialog and consultation, accommodate each other’s legitimate concerns and reach a mutually acceptable solution at an early date,” Zhang added.Ties between the two countries have been frozen since June 2020 when clashes between soldiers along the disputed Himalayan border left at least 20 Indian and an unknown number of Chinese dead. Since then, there have been incremental progress in resolving the border crisis in more than 50 rounds of diplomatic and military talks. The latest remarks from Beijing follow meetings between Chinese Foreign Minister and his Indian counterpart in Laos in July, and India’s National Security Advisor on the sidelines of the BRICS meeting in Russia earlier this month. In a speech on Wednesday in New York, Jaishankar said China and India have resolved 75% of disengagement of troops in the eastern Ladakh region. “The main issue right now is the patrolling,” he said. “How do we, both of us, patrol up to the Line of Actual Control?” he added.
