Long view urged on Sino-Indian border situation

State Councilor and Defense Minister Li Shangfu called for joint efforts to bring the China-India border situation "under regular control at an early date", as he met with India's defense minister, Rajnath Singh, on Thursday in New Delhi.

The meeting, held on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Defense Ministers' Meeting, was the first between Chinese and Indian defense ministers since a meeting in Moscow in 2020.

According to a news release on Friday by China's Ministry of National Defense, the two defense ministers exchanged views on relations between the two countries and militaries.
