The 21st meeting between the Special Representatives of India and China on the Boundary Question took place on November 24 last year in Chengdu.

“The talks were constructive and forward looking, and focussed on taking forward the India-China Closer Developmental Partnership in pursuance of the guidance provided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping at their Informal Summit at Wuhan in April 2018”, said a press release by Ministry of External Affairs.

The Special Representatives are likely to undertake a comprehensive review of the rounds of talks under the SR mechanism that had taken place earlier.

The representatives will look forward to resolve to intensify their efforts to achieve a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable solution to the India-China boundary question at an early date. It is noteworthy that an early settlement of the boundary question serves the fundamental interests of both countries.
