India and China have agreed to continue working towards a political settlement of the boundary question, the Ministry of External Affairs said after the 25th Special Representatives meeting between NSA Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing. The MEA described the talks as candid and in-depth, held under the strategic guidance of PM Modi and President Xi Jinping.
The Hindu reports that no settlement framework has been finalised yet, and the discussions built on the 2005 Agreement on Political Parameters and Guiding Principles. Times Now reports Doval highlighted the importance of maintaining peace and tranquility along the LAC for overall bilateral ties, and noted that normalcy has returned following the 2020 Galwan clashes. The talks come ahead of President Xi's expected visit for the BRICS summit.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Deccan Herald's report focuses on the absence of a settlement framework, framing the talks as procedural and incomplete. Times Now leads with the agreed political settlement and Doval's peace emphasis, giving more weight to the official MEA line. Both sources rely on the same MEA statement, so the difference is in emphasis: one stresses what has not been achieved, the other what has been agreed. The next milestone will be Xi's BRICS visit and whether boundary talks advance further then.
