India and China: The Path to Peaceful Borders and Diplomacy

India and China are engaging in discussions to resolve their complex boundary dispute. During a recent meeting in Qingdao, India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and China's Defence Minister Dong Jun discussed creating a structured roadmap to de-escalate tensions. Efforts are ongoing to maintain peace along the disputed borders.

China acknowledged on Monday that its boundary dispute with India is complex and will require time for resolution. The country, however, expressed a willingness to engage in discussions on border delimitation and ensure peace in the disputed regions.

During a meeting on June 26 in Qingdao, India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh proposed to Chinese counterpart Dong Jun that India and China address the contentious issues through a structured approach, aiming to decrease tensions and rejuvenate existing mechanisms along the frontiers.

Although the dispute has seen 23 rounds of high-level talks without resolution, both countries emphasize maintaining communication and employing diplomacy to ensure tranquility along the Line of Actual Control.
