The agreement was signed by the Congress party during the UPA-I government in India and Sonia Gandhi was the chairperson of the National Advisory Council, which acted as the super cabinet over the Manmohan Singh led govt.
The agreement signed gained significance after the recent violent clash where India lost 20 soldiers at the Galwan valley along the LAC in Ladakh.
The agreement was signed between the two parties on 7th August in 2008 in Beijing for exchanging high-level information and co-operation between them. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) also provided the two parties with the “opportunity to consult each other on important bilateral, regional and international developments”.
