2017 Doklam standoff
The 2017 Doklam standoff was a military confrontation between India and China that occurred from June to August 2017 in the Doklam plateau, an area contested by both China and Bhutan. The standoff began when Chinese troops attempted to construct a road in the region, prompting the Indian Army to intervene in support of Bhutan, with whom India has a close strategic partnership. The dispute escalated tensions between the two nations, reflecting long-standing border issues between India and China. After weeks of diplomatic discussions and military deployment, both countries reached a mutual agreement to disengage, marking a significant moment in Sino-Indian relations. The standoff underscored the geopolitical complexities in the Himalayan region and highlighted the role of regional alliances in addressing territorial disputes.
