National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval is in Chinese capital Beijing to participate in the 23rd meeting of special representatives with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. “The two special representatives will discuss the management of peace and tranquility in the border areas and explore a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable solution to the boundary question,” said a press release of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
After more than four and a half years of border standoff, the two nations have successfully concluded the disengagement process. Further during the meeting, discussions regarding de-escalation and subsequent demilitarisation of forces along the India-China border are expected to be discussed.
“23rd meeting of special representatives for China-India boundary question as agreed upon by both nations, will take place in Beijing on December 18, 2024,” announced Lin Jian, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
