External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Sunday asserted that India has emerged as a leader in fighting terrorism under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar emphasizes India's strong stance against terrorism and plans to resume patrolling with China in Ladakh.

India and China have agreed to resume patrolling in the Demchok and Depsang areas of Ladakh. This disengagement will be followed by de-escalation and discussions on managing the border, EAM S Jaishankar said in Mumbai.

India-China de-escalation agreement reached in Ladakh, with focus on patrolling and disengagement, aiming to restore 2020 status.

The statement from the EAM comes after India announced last week that it reached an agreement with China on patrolling along the LAC in eastern Ladakh, a major breakthrough in ending the over four-year-long military standoff.

'Today, we are leaders in fighting terrorism... We should not have a repeat of what happened in Mumbai. There was an attack on this city and there was no response. That is not good for us...,' Jaishankar affirmed.

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said India and China had agreed to resume patrolling and disengagement in Depsang and Demchok, ending the stand-off in eastern Ladakh.
