Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval traveled to Beijing to participate in the 25th round of Special Representatives' talks regarding the India-China boundary dispute. The discussions, co-chaired by Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, aim to address border stability, maintain peace along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), and review disengagement arrangements following the 2020 military standoff.

During his visit, Doval met with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng to discuss strengthening peace and tranquillity along the border, as well as improving bilateral relations across economic, political, and multilateral sectors. These diplomatic engagements occur amid concerns regarding Chinese military activity in Arunachal Pradesh and precede the BRICS summit in New Delhi, where high-level meetings between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are anticipated.
