However, no demilitarisation plan acceptable to both the countries could be agreed. The countries fought two further wars in 1965 and 1971. Following the latter war, the countries reached the Simla Agreement, agreeing on a Line of Control between their respective regions and committing to a peaceful resolution of the dispute through bilateral negotiations.

Even though It is a border dispute between India and China, unlike Tawang, it has never gone under direct Chinese control.

Russia–Ukraine border	Russia  Ukraine	Since 2001 Russia delays an establishment of the border with Ukraine.
Tuzla Island and Strait of Kerch; Sarych		The conflict arose in 2003 when the Russian authorities started to build a dam towards the island.

The conflict was based on the division of the Black Sea Fleet and a lease agreement of the Sevastopol Naval facilities.
