Beijing: China Thursday said its diplomatic talks with India on the border situation were “candid”.
The two sides held talks under the framework of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination (WMCC) on border affairs in New Delhi Wednesday.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry called the talks “candid” in a press release issued here.
“The two sides focused on in-depth communication regarding the implementation of the outcomes of the 23rd meeting of Special Representatives (SRs) for the China-India Boundary Question and agreed to jointly prepare for the 24th meeting,” added the ministry.
Following the WMCC talks, India’s Ministry of External Affairs said Wednesday the two sides expressed “satisfaction with the general prevalence of peace and tranquillity in the border areas, leading to gradual normalisation of bilateral relations.”
The meeting also prepared the ground for the next edition of Special Representative talks scheduled to be held in India later this year.
