Jaishankar meets Chinese counterpart; agree to redouble efforts for border disputes

While attending SCO summit, Minister of External Affairs Jaishankar met Chinese counterpart Wang Yi where both agreed to redouble efforts in relation to early resolution of remaining issues in border areas

“Discussed early resolution of remaining issues in border areas. Agreed to redouble efforts through diplomatic and military channels to that end. Respecting the LAC and ensuring peace and tranquility in the border areas is essential. The three mutuals – mutual respect, mutual sensitivity and mutual interest – will guide our bilateral ties,” said the MEA in a post on X.

Strained India-China relations:
India and China have been in a military standoff for the last three years since May 2020, when the Chinese tried to aggressively alter the status quo on the Line of Actual Control.

Amid border tensions, in March this year, India and China exchanged views on ways of achieving complete disengagement and resolving the issues along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Western sector of
India-China border areas.

Meanwhile, Jaishankar is leading the Indian delegation in Kazakhstan to attend the 24th Meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of State (SCO Summit).
