Border Personnel Meeting points are locations along the disputed Sino-Indian territories on Line of Actual Control (LAC) where the armies of both countries hold ceremonial and practical meetings to resolve border issues and improve relations. While border meetings have been held since the 1990s, the first formal Border Personnel Meeting point was established in 2013. There are five meeting points: two in the Indian Union Territory of Ladakh or India's Western (Northern) sector corresponding to China's Southern Xinjiang Military District of the Western Theater Command, one in Sikkim, and two in Arunachal Pradesh in India's Central and Eastern sectors corresponding to China's Tibet Military District.
