China and India have resumed formal high-level dialogue to address their long-standing border dispute, marking the first such meeting in five years. The talks between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and India’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval took place in Beijing, where they discussed seeking fair and reasonable solutions to the border issue.
In October, both countries reached an agreement on military disengagement and patrolling arrangements along contested border areas, following a tense standoff since a deadly clash in 2020. The recent meeting reaffirmed the commitment to implement the disengagement agreement and emphasized the importance of handling the dispute properly to avoid negative impacts on bilateral relations.
