Ind, China to sign BDCA during PM's visit next week

India and China will sign a Border Defence Cooperation Agreement during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit next week under which no tailing of each others' patrols and no shooting at each other under any conditions by troops have been provided.
The BDCA was cleared by the Cabinet Committee on Security today as part of further CBMs to avoid incidents along the Line of Actual Control which has seen many intrusions from the Chinese side, especially the long face-off during summer in Depsang Valley of Ladakh.
