The Eastern Ladakh dispute is a dispute between India and China. This is a border dispute along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The dispute escalated following a violent clash in the Galwan Valley in 2020, in which 20 Indian soldiers were martyred.
This dispute sparked tensions between India and China in several areas. However, the two countries recently reached an agreement to de-escalate tensions. This agreement included the withdrawal of troops and the resumption of patrolling.
