Troops of India and China exchanged sweets at several border points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) on the occasion of Diwali on Thursday.
The traditional practice was observed a day after both countries completed troop disengagement at the two friction points at Demchok and Depsang Plains in eastern Ladakh, bringing a fresh thaw in the Sino-Indian ties.
“Sweets exchange between members of the troops of India and China took place at several border points along the LAC on the occasion of Diwali,” an Army source told PTI earlier in the day.
