Doval will also meet China\u2019s Vice President Han Zheng, it added. The two sides have met repeatedly for talks about their border since a deadly 2020 clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt this meeting, the two sides will, in accordance with the spirit of the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, continue to engage in in-depth communication on the boundary question and jointly safeguard peace and tranquility in the border areas,\u201d Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two Asian giants share a 3,500-kilometre (2,175-mile) border, and have in the past accused each other of trying to seize territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India\u2019s main opposition party earlier this month said it was \u201cdeeply alarmed\u201d by India media reports that Indian and Chinese army patrols came face-to-face in late July in the northeastern state of Arunachal Prad\u00adesh.

India says the state is an integral part of its territory. Despite lingering distrust, ties between the neighbours have gradually improved, including through the resumption of direct flights and border trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The September 12-13 BRICS meeting will be held in the Indian capital, with the Middle East, trade and the shifting global order expected to feature prominently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI(National Times)- India\u2019s top security official arrived in Beijing on Monday for talks on the countries\u2019 disputed Himalayan border, ahead of a BRICS summit next month that New Delhi hopes President Xi Jinping will attend.
