NSA Ajit Doval and Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi in touch over LAC issues
Ajit K Doval and China's foreign minister Wang Yi are believed to be in touch over the disengagement of frontline troops at the two remaining points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and are said to be discussing the future of political engagement ahead of the Brics and G20 summits. Doval and Wang have been in communication over the unresolved issues along the LAC since their meeting last month in South Africa on the sidelines of the Brics Summit, ET has reliably learnt.
While the finer details of such communication are not known, there are indications the two senior officials had brainstormed over the situation along the LAC and the bilateral ties that have touched a low. Both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping will attend the Brics Summit in South Africa next week and if they meet for a structured bilateral talk, it will be the first such dialogue between the two leaders since 2019.
Xi is also expected to attend the G-20 Summit in New Delhi on September 9 and 10. The Galwan conflict of 2020 had ruptured ties and the NSA during his meeting with Wang in South Africa last month stated that the trust has been eroded since the Galwan episode.
