Doklam Standoff: India and China continue border talks this week
Shares
India’s National Security Advisor and Special Representative on border issues with China, Ajit Doval, is meeting his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi this week for the 20th edition of the annual boundary negotiations.
The meeting is the first between the Special Representatives since the 72-day Doklam standoff that ended on August 28.
China’s dissatisfaction with the resolution of the Doklam issue was apparent earlier this month when the PRC’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi called it a “serious test of bilateral relations” during his visit to New Delhi. Wang urged External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj to avoid similar incidents in the future.
