Tashkent Declaration signed on 10 January. India agreed to return key places like Haji Pir it had occupied during the war and to return to status quo ante as on 5 August 1965. There was an agreement on the return of prisoners, the resumption of diplomatic relations and an agreement that force would not be used to settle any future conflict. This declaration is especially important as it set aside the idea of a plebiscite over Kashmir as the way forward. It recognized the 1949 boundaries as acceptable ones.
