The meeting, which took place in Saint Petersburg, Russia on the sidelines of the Meeting of BRICS High-Ranking Officials Responsible for Security Matters/National Security Advisors, gave the two sides an opportunity to review the recent efforts towards finding an early resolution of the remaining issues along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), which will create conditions to stabilize and rebuild bilateral relations.
“Both sides agreed to work with urgency and redouble their efforts to realise complete disengagement in the remaining areas,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a statement.
Both agreed that the India-China bilateral relationship is significant not only for the two countries but also for the entire region and the world. They exchanged views on the global and regional situation.
