India and China Resume Border Talks After Five Years

NSA Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi meet in Beijing to address long-standing disputes and explore solutions for border stability.

This is the 23rd Special Representatives dialogue on the India-China boundary question, the first since 2019, following years of strained relations after the 2020 Ladakh standoff.
The discussions aim to maintain peace and stability along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) while seeking a fair and mutually acceptable boundary resolution.
Recent disengagement agreements at key friction points in Demchok and Depsang have allowed both nations to resume patrolling activities after a four-and-a-half-year hiatus.
The talks were revived after a meeting between Prime Minister Modi and President Xi Jinping in October, signaling a thaw in bilateral relations.
India emphasizes that peace at the border is a prerequisite for normalizing ties, while China expresses readiness to enhance trust and stabilize relations through dialogue.
