The 24th round of Sino-Indian border talks between the special representatives - Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval - took place on Tuesday. The talks resulted in a 10-point consensus.
Both countries positively assessed the progress made since their leaders met in Kazan and stressed that the border areas remain calm and stable. They reaffirmed the importance of peace, stability and resolving issues through consultations to promote overall bilateral relations.
China and India agreed to work towards a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable framework based on the 2005 Guidelines. The WMCC mechanism will establish an expert group on border demarcation to explore ways to advance the negotiations, as well as a new working group on effective border management.
In addition to the existing talks on the western part of the border, the negotiations at the level of generals will be extended to the eastern and central sections. A new round of discussions on the western part will take place soon. The two sides also agreed to strengthen the use of diplomatic and military mechanisms to promote de-escalation.
Regarding cooperation on transboundary rivers, both sides confirmed that they will continue to communicate through the expert mechanism and that they will renew the Memorandum on flood reporting. China also promised to share emergency hydrological data for humanitarian reasons.
The two countries agreed to reopen three traditional border markets and confirmed that the 25th round of border talks will be held in China in 2026.
