The top generals of India and China's armies have met to relieve tensions after a series of fiery clashes stirred up a 60-year-old conflict between the two nations.
The clashes - which involved throwing rocks at one another and vicious beatings - occurred at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) at the contested Himalayan border near Ladakh.
The LAC was established in 1962, after China won the Sino-Indian war and established a clear boundary in the mountain range, which has a number of strategic advantages.
The relationship between the two nations had been peaceful for years until last month, when tensions unexpectedly surged between Indian and Chinese troops.
Seven Chinese and four Indian soldiers were injured in the clashes, according to reports - but both sides blame each other for kickstarting the conflict.
Thousands of reinforcements were sent in after the clashes, and Indian analysts report that China is occupying their territory and has substantially increased its combat capabilities.
Military commanders on both sides met over the weekend in an attempt to resolve the dispute and cool tensions, according to a statement from India's Foreign Ministry.
"A meeting was held between the Corps Commander based in Leh and the Chinese Commander on 6 June 2020 in the Chushul-Moldo region. It took place in a cordial and positive atmosphere," it reads.
"Both sides agreed to peacefully resolve the situation in the border areas in accordance with various bilateral agreements and keeping in view the agreement between the leaders that peace and tranquility in the India-China border regions is essential for the overall development of bilateral relations."
India and China border troops have long had a fractious relationship, but this is the most tensions have flared in the Himalayas in several years.
Last month, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo sided with India and condemned China's actions along the border.
"The Chinese Communist Party has been on this effort, on this march, for an awfully long time," he said. "They'll certainly use a tactical situation on the ground to their advantage."
