National Security Advisor Ajit Doval will take part in the India-China Special Representatives’ talks in Beijing today. The talks aimed at restoring the bilateral ties stalled for over four years due to the military standoff in eastern Ladakh. Mr Doval will hold the 23rd round of the Special Representative (SR) talks with his Chinese counterpart and Foreign Minister Wang Yi. They are expected to discuss a range of issues to rebuild the bilateral ties following the October 21 agreement of disengagement and patrolling in eastern Ladakh between the two countries.
Ahead of crucial talks, China said yesterday that it is ready to work with India to implement the commitments based on the common understandings reached between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping during their meeting at Kazan in Russia on the sidelines of the BRICS summit on October 24. When asked about the SR talks, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian told a media briefing that China is prepared to settle differences with sincerity.
