June marked the fourth anniversary of the Galwan clashes. The violent skirmishes between the two nations have changed the course of India-China relations. These were the first violent clashes where both sides lost soldiers after 45 years. They also marked the breakdown of the Confidence Building Mechanisms (CBMs) which had worked in keeping the unsettled border peaceful. Even after multiple levels of talks both sides have not made any major inroads, and the situation on the border continues to remain tense.
