New Delhi: After nearly a year’s gap, India and China resumed high-level border talks on October 25, 2025, at the Chushul-Moldo meeting point, marking the 23rd round of Corps Commander-level negotiations aimed at resolving remaining friction points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the discussions were held in a “friendly and cordial atmosphere.” Both sides acknowledged the progress achieved since the 22nd round of talks in October 2024 and agreed to maintain peace and stability along the border through existing diplomatic and military mechanisms.
The latest round of talks comes in the backdrop of renewed diplomatic engagement between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin in September 2025.
During their hour-long conversation, both leaders agreed that “differences must not become disputes” and stressed that peace along the border is vital for the steady development of bilateral relations.
