India, China discuss ways to push border delimitation

India and China on Tuesday said they had discussed advancing talks on delimiting parts of the disputed border, as National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met in Beijing.

A statement from the Indian Embassy here said both sides had “discussed ways to further expand bilateral cooperation, maintain stability, and ensure peace and tranquility in the border areas, and make progress on boundary delimitation, while sustaining the ongoing work on transboundary cooperation”.

China’s Foreign Ministry highlighted progress on border delimitation in a statement issued after the 25th round of talks between the two Special Representatives (SR) on the boundary question, saying both sides “held in-depth discussions on advancing border delimitation negotiations, strengthening border management and control, improving mechanism building, and promoting cross-border cooperation”. However, neither side provided details on which parts of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) were being explored for possible delimitation. At last year’s SR talks, both sides agreed to set up a working group to explore “early harvest” border delimitation in some areas along the LAC.

On broader bilateral ties, Mr. Doval said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping had given “a clear and positive direction” to the India-China relationship which has been “steadily returning to normalcy”. He said this round of SR talks was “very important particularly in the wake of the BRICS Summit to happen shortly.” Mr. Xi is expected to attend the September 12 meet in New Delhi, on his first visit to India in seven years.

The Chinese statement quoted Mr. Wang as saying: “China and India should draw lessons from history, place the boundary question appropriately in bilateral relations, and keep moving forward”.
