《English Translation》

王明月: 陈老师, recently China and India finally reached a border resolution, and the two countries' armies have begun to withdraw. This has drawn significant attention.
陈智高: Yes, this is an important development. Since the border clashes between the two countries in 2020, the situation has been tense. The agreement this time shows that both sides are willing to ease tensions.
王明月: But the two sides have been in standoffs for the past four years. Why did they only reach a compromise now?
陈智高: This is a complex issue. China and India are both ancient civilizations with their own positions on territory and cultural perspectives. However, peaceful coexistence aligns with the long-term interests of both, especially in terms of economic and regional stability. The recent meeting between the two countries' leaders at the BRICS Summit provided a key opportunity.
王明月: I see. International meetings can indeed lead to easing tensions. However, after both sides withdraw their troops, can the border areas truly return to peace?
陈智高: Restoring peace will take time. However, both sides have now agreed to notify each other of patrol times and routes along the border, which can effectively reduce misunderstandings and conflicts. This is also part of a trust-building process.
王明月: Hopefully so. Such progress not only benefits both countries but also promotes stability in the entire region.
陈智高: As President Xi said, China and India should 'help each other fulfill their development dreams.' Peaceful coexistence is the choice that best serves both sides' interests. As Confucius said, 'Harmony without uniformity'—peaceful coexistence doesn't require complete agreement. Perhaps this is the ideal that can be pursued in China-India relations.
