India, China Advance Border Talks, Set Up Two New Hotlines

India and China have agreed to accelerate boundary negotiations for an 'early harvest' solution, establishing two new military hotlines and two additional meeting points to manage border tensions.

The 25th round of Special Representatives' talks in Beijing concluded with an 8-point consensus, aiming to resolve long-standing territorial disputes before the upcoming BRICS summit.

This diplomatic breakthrough follows years of military standoff, with both nations now prioritizing a structured roadmap to ensure stability and prevent accidental escalations along the Line of Actual Control.
