India and China signed a pact to set up a border management mechanism

New Delhi: India and China signed a pact to set up a border management mechanism to maintain peace along the undemarcated boundary between the two neighbours.

The pact was signed by Liu Zhenmin, assistant minister in the Chinese ministry of foreign affairs, and S. Jaishankar, India’s ambassador to China, at the end of the two-day 15th round of talks on the border dispute in New Delhi.

In another significant move, the two special representatives discussing the border conflict—India’s national security adviser Shivshankar Menon and China’s state councillor Dai Bingguo—agreed that they would prepare “a joint agreed record for their governments on the progress made so far in the talks on the boundary question”, an Indian foreign ministry statement said.
