BEIJING: National security advisor Ajit Doval and Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi met in Beijing on Wednesday, resuming the Special Representatives dialogue as they sought the normalization of bilateral ties hit by a military standoff in eastern Ladakh.
Doval, who is heading the Indian delegation, arrived in Beijing on Tuesday to take part in the 23rd round of the Special Representatives talks being held after a gap of five years. The last meeting was held in 2019 in Delhi.
The talks began at 10am China time.
The leaders were set to discuss a range of issues, including the management of peace and tranquillity along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and the normalising of ties hit for over four years after a clash in eastern Ladakh.
On October 21, the two sides reached an agreement on disengagement and patrolling in that sector.
