India security chief visits China for border talks
- National Security Advisor Ajit Doval arrived in Beijing on Monday for the 25th round of Special Representatives talks on the India-China boundary question. He will meet Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday.
- Established in 2003 to address the 3,488 km border dispute, the Special Representatives mechanism serves as a tool for managing recurring tensions between the two nations. Relations have remained strained since the 2020 Galwan Valley clash and military standoff in Ladakh.
- External Affairs Minister Jaishankar reiterated Saturday that "peace and tranquillity" along the Line of Actual Control are prerequisites for good relations. Officials assert the frontier's status governs the overall trajectory of bilateral ties.
- Besides meeting Wang, Doval will call on Chinese Vice President Han Zheng during his two-day visit. The Chinese Foreign Ministry stated talks will facilitate "in-depth communication on the boundary question" and address bilateral and regional issues.
- This visit precedes the September 12 BRICS Summit in India, where officials anticipate a potential meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Both sides view the event as an opportunity to normalize bilateral ties.
