India and China have begun withdrawing troops from their final two standoff positions on their disputed Himalayan border, signaling an end to a four-year military standoff.

An Indian government source said that after reaching an agreement on October 25, Indian and Chinese troops have begun withdrawing from the Depsang and Demchok areas.

The Indian foreign ministry did not respond to a request for comment on the report.

On the Chinese side, in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said the troop withdrawal was going smoothly.

"On the basis of the recent solution agreed between India and China... the frontline troops of the two countries are carrying out relevant work, with smooth progress so far," Lam Kiem said.

However, neither side has yet announced the specific content of the agreement.

The deal is expected to help restore political and economic relations between the two countries after years of decline following the 2020 brawl.

The two sides have withdrawn forces from five confrontation points since 2020, the most recent being two years ago.
