India and China on Tuesday held the 25th round of talks between their Special Representatives on the boundary question, with National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressing the need to consolidate peace along the border and build on the recent improvement in bilateral ties. The high-level dialogue comes at a key juncture, with the two countries seeking to stabilise relations after years of tensions triggered by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash and the prolonged military standoff in eastern Ladakh. The talks also assume importance ahead of the BRICS summit scheduled to be held in New Delhi on September 12 and 13.
