Border peace serves shared interests of China, India

Both China and India are ancient civilizations whose interactions transcend even the formidable barrier of the Himalayas. Despite this historical connection, the border issue between China and India has persisted unresolved for over a century. Since India's independence and the founding of the People's Republic of China in the mid-20th century, bilateral relations have navigated through phases of honeymoon, confrontation, and ongoing enhancement and growth.

The border standoff since 2020 dealt a blow to the bilateral ties of the two biggest developing countries, which does not serve the fundamental interests of China and India and their peoples.

In reality, China has consistently emphasized the significance of resolving the border issue through peaceful and diplomatic channels, maintaining open lines of communication with India. This approach has facilitated the management of disputes and the containment of potential conflicts. The establishment of a working mechanism for consultation and coordination on border affairs between the two nations, along with various meetings and the implementation of a military exchange mechanism, has proven beneficial in this regard.
