Two months after the Doklam standoff, both India and China have finally decided to withdraw troops from the tri-junction. In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs said on Monday that in recent weeks India and China have maintained diplomatic communications on Doklam.



"In recent weeks, India and China have maintained diplomatic communication in respect of the incident at Doklam. During these communications, we were able to express our views and convey our concerns and interests," the statement said.



"On this basis, expeditious disengagement of border personnel at the face-off site at Doklam has been agreed to and is on-going," the MEA statement further said.



The Indian Army has been engaged in a border standoff with Chinese troops for over two months when the Indian troops stopped the Peoples Liberation Army from building a road in the Doklam area.



The MEA said Chinese troops were moving back and border disengagement was ongoing.
