China and India will hold the 25th meeting of their special representatives for border talks in Beijing, China's foreign ministry said. The forum is the main channel for bilateral boundary negotiations and a platform for discussing mutual concerns; last August's 24th meeting featured candid, in‑depth exchanges and multiple points of agreement. In line with leaders' consensus, both sides will continue in‑depth communication on the border issue to jointly maintain peace and stability in border areas and will exchange views on bilateral and regional/international matters.
