NDTV
Ajit Doval on India-China relations: The two sides agreed that the India-China bilateral relationship is significant not only for the two countries, but also for the region, and the world.
The situation along the LAC, India's de-facto border, in the Western Sector of the India-China boundary since 2020 had eroded strategic trust and the public and political basis of the relationship between the two countries, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval told top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi while discussing bilateral ties on the sidelines of the Friends of BRICS meeting in South Africa's Johannesburg on Monday, sources said.
Wang Yi is a member of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Political Bureau and Director of the Office of the CPC Foreign Affairs Commission. He and Mr Doval are their country's special representatives on boundary talks.
NSA Doval emphasised the importance of continuing efforts to fully resolve the situation and restore peace and tranquility in the border areas, so as to remove impediments to normalcy in bilateral relations, sources said.
