India and China to talk about boundaries to make ties strong

New Delhi, Dec 19: After tension on Doklam, India and China are trying to make their ties strong again. A meeting is being arranged in New Delhi where India and China will talk about boundaries.

Crisis management at the border, operationalising a hotline between the militaries and continuing discussions on clarifying the line of actual control (LAC) could be in focus when Chinese and Indian diplomats meet for the 20th round of SR-level talks.

State councillor Yang Jiechi will lead a team of diplomats to New Delhi to meet his designated counterpart for the talks, India's national security advisor AK Doval.

"The SR meeting is not only a high-level channel for the border issue discussion but also the platform for strategic communication. This also allows the two sides to exchange views on the international and regional issues of major concern," Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said on Tuesday.
