It said 10 Combined Arms Brigade-size forces remained deployed in areas along the LAC and in traditional training areas.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>At the same time, the Indian Army\u2019s deployment across all sectors of the LAC remained \u201crobust, well poised and prepared to deal with any emerging contingency\u201d, the ministry said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>The reduction in Chinese troop deployment came amid increased political, diplomatic and military engagement between India and China, which the ministry said helped bring greater stability along the Northern Borders.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>India and China resumed several mechanisms for dialogue during the year. The 33rd and 34th rounds of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination (WMCC) were held in March and July 2025 respectively. Special Representatives\u2019 talks on the boundary question also resumed, with rounds held in December 2024 and August 2025.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>The ministry said the improvement in bilateral ties was further reinforced by PM Modi\u2019s visit to China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Tianjin in August 2025. Military-level engagement also continued, including the 23rd Corps Commander Level Meet in Eastern Ladakh on October 25-26, 2025.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>\u201cBorder Personnel Meetings continue with the PLA in all sectors in a cordial and friendly environment to resolve issues of concern,\u201d the ministry said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>The latest developments come as India-China ties continue to show signs of stabilisation following years of tensions along the disputed border.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>PM Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a bilateral meeting lasting more than 50 minutes in New Delhi on Saturday, on the sidelines of the Brics Summit. <!-- -->Welcoming Xi, PM Modi said the two countries now had an opportunity to discuss bilateral cooperation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Xi said China viewed India-China relations from a \u201cstrategic and long-term perspective\u201d and called for both countries to work together on shared development.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>\u201cIn the face of a complex international landscape marked by intertwined changes and challenges, China and India, as the world&#8217;s two most populous countries and important members of the Global South, shoulder significant
