India security chief visits China for border talks
The 25th round of special representatives talks will discuss border stability and wider ties as both sides seek to ease tensions before the BRICS summit.
- On Tuesday, August 25, 2026, Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval held the 25th round of Special Representatives talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing, aiming to secure troop disengagement and regional stability along the Line of Actual Control.
- Established in 2003, the Special Representatives mechanism remains the primary channel to address the 3,488-km boundary dispute, even as tensions persist over Arunachal Pradesh, which India asserts is an 'inalienable and integral' part of its territory.
- Before the boundary talks, Doval called on Chinese Vice President Han Zheng to discuss strengthening peace and tranquillity along the border and improving bilateral ties across economic, political, and multilateral forums.
- These negotiations precede the September 12–13 BRICS summit in New Delhi, where officials are optimistic about Chinese President Xi Jinping's participation, potentially enabling a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the summit sidelines.
- Both nations continue efforts to stabilize relations following the 2020 Galwan Valley clash and military standoff in eastern Ladakh, with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar noting that border peace is a "prerequisite for good relations" with China.
