Overview

  • Jaishankar and Wang held talks Monday in New Delhi, with the Indian minister urging a candid approach guided by “mutual respect, mutual sensitivity and mutual interest” and saying differences must not become disputes.
  • The 24th round of Special Representatives dialogue between NSA Ajit Doval and Wang Yi is scheduled for Tuesday to review the LAC situation and pursue de‑escalation and new confidence‑building measures.
  • Wang is slated to call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday evening, with Beijing describing the trip as implementing leaders’ understandings ahead of the Tianjin SCO summit on August 31–September 1.
  • Practical normalization has advanced through the resumption of the Kailash Mansarovar yatra and India’s tourist visas for Chinese nationals, with talks underway to restore direct flights and reopen border trade.
  • Despite the diplomatic push, large frontline deployments persist in eastern Ladakh, with an estimated 50,000–60,000 troops on each side and no full pullback agreed.
