Indian soldiers mark China's national day

Indian troops mark China festival (BBC)

Fifty Indian troops, some with their families, travelled to a remote outpost on China's disputed Himalayan border with India's Arunachal Pradesh state to celebrate China's National Day on Oct 1st.

About 50 Chinese military officials and soldiers, again some with families, had travelled to the Bumla Pass, close to the Chinese outpost, for Indian Independence Day on 15 August.

Earlier this year China recognised Sikkim as Indian territory. It has not yet accepted Arunachal Pradesh but these incidents will certainly help.
