China, India Agree to Speed Up Negotiations on Borders Disputes

China and India have agreed to accelerate negotiations on their border disputes and move beyond the border situation as soon as possible. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement following a meeting of officials from both sides that Beijing and New Delhi agreed to continue to maintain peace in the border area and reach a solution acceptable to both countries. Last month, Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said that amid the ongoing border dispute with China in the Ladakh region, his 1.3 million-strong army remains ready and capable of meeting all current and future security challenges facing his country.
