India's National Security Adviser Ajit Doval is set to arrive in Beijing for the 25th round of India-China Special Representatives talks on the long-running boundary dispute.

Doval is expected to meet his Chinese counterpart, Foreign Minister Wang Yi, as both sides seek to address the 3,488-kilometre border question between the two Asian giants.

The talks carry added significance as they come ahead of the BRICS summit in New Delhi, where Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to visit India. The outcome of the Doval-Wang discussions could help shape the atmosphere surrounding Xi's potential visit.

India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has repeatedly stressed that peace and tranquillity along the border remain essential for stable and productive India-China relations.
