India and China have agreed to seek a political settlement of the border issue, the government said on Tuesday after National Security Advisor Ajit Doval met Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi in Beijing under the Special Representatives dialogue framework. The two sides discussed maintaining peace and stability along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and progress on border delimitation.
Doval said the normalcy in ties was a direct result of both sides maintaining peace along border areas, and noted the successful conduct of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra via Nathu La and resumption of traditional border trade, PTI reported. Wang Yi said the relationship had taken on global significance, and called for building a positive narrative on boundary affairs. The meeting comes weeks before Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to visit India for the BRICS summit.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both ndtv.com and hindustantimes.com reported the meeting as a diplomatic step forward, neutral in tone and heavy on official quotes. The coverage is uniform straight reporting: neither outlet led with opposition criticism or framed the talks as a concession. The key point to watch is whether Xi Jinping's expected visit for the BRICS summit materialises, which would be his first to India in seven years and a tangible measure of the thaw.
