India and China are set to engage in crucial 25th round of Special Representatives (SR) talks on border issues, as Ajit Doval, India's National Security Advisor, is scheduled to arrive in Beijing on Monday for the meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi. The talks, a structured mechanism established in 2003 to address the boundary dispute spanning 3,488 km, hold significance due to the upcoming visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to India for the BRICS summit on September 12-13.
The Chinese leader's anticipated visit could present an opportunity for a meeting between President Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss initiatives to enhance bilateral ties. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar emphasized that peace and tranquility along the border areas are prerequisites for good relations between the two countries, particularly in light of aggressive posturing by Chinese troops in recent weeks.
China's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Guo Jiakun, affirmed that the border situation is generally stable, but India maintains that maintaining peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) is of utmost importance for the overall trajectory of bilateral ties.
