India’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval is set to travel to Beijing for the 25th round of India-China Special Representative talks on the long-running boundary dispute.

Doval and his Chinese counterpart, Foreign Minister Wang Yi, are expected to hold crucial discussions on the 3,488-kilometre India-China border dispute. The Special Representative mechanism was established in 2003 to address the complex boundary question between the two countries.

The latest round carries added significance as it comes ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s expected visit to New Delhi for the BRICS Summit. The outcome of the Doval-Wang talks could help shape the diplomatic atmosphere surrounding the high-profile visit.

India has repeatedly stressed that peace and tranquillity along the border are essential for the broader development of bilateral relations with China.

The meeting is also significant because it is the first Special Representatives dialogue in roughly a year. The previous round was held in New Delhi in August 2025, when both sides reaffirmed the importance of the 2005 agreement as a reference point for resolving the boundary issue.
