What were S Jaishankar's comments on the meeting?

Jaishankar mentioned that India and China discussed the future steps in their bilateral relations and the global situation.

The meeting between Jaishankar and Wang Yi follows Prime Minister Modi's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, a month ago.

Prime Minister Modi emphasized that the relationship between India and China is crucial for both nations' people and for regional and global peace and stability.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also echoed this sentiment, stating that discussions are ongoing between India and China at diplomatic and military levels to resolve conflicts in some areas along the LAC.

Wide agreement achieved to reinstate the original conditions

Following recent discussions, a broad agreement has been reached to restore the situation on the ground, based on equal and mutual security.

The agreement covers rights related to patrolling and grazing in traditional areas. 'With this consensus, the disengagement process is nearly complete,' he stated.

We aim to move beyond the disengagement, but that will require more time. The border standoff between India and China began in eastern Ladakh along the LAC in 2020 due to Chinese military actions.

This incident caused prolonged tension between the two countries, straining their relations. Meanwhile, India and China are about to mark 75 years of diplomatic relations.
