Doklam standoff came to an end

Despite China's incessant strategies to cow Indian army and get them to back off unilaterally, Indian diplomacy prevailed as both the countries signaled the end of Doklam standoff. Welcoming the resolution, China's army has said that it would stay "vigilant" and "defend its sovereignty". On the other hand, Indian Army chief has also warned that we should not be too optimistic.



भारतीय सेना को डराने और उन्हें एकतरफा रूप से पीछे हटाने की चीन की लगातार रणनीतियों के बावजूद, भारतीय कूटनीति प्रबल रही और दोनों देशों ने डोकलाम गतिरोध को समाप्त करने का संकेत दिया। इस प्रस्ताव का स्वागत करते हुए, चीन की सेना ने कहा है कि वे "सतर्क" रहेंगे और "अपनी संप्रभुता की रक्षा करेंगे"। दूसरी ओर, भारतीय सेना प्रमुख ने भी चेतावनी दी है कि हमें बहुत ज़्यादा आशावादी नहीं होना चाहिए।
