The 17th round of the India-China Special Representatives talks will be held in New Delhi on February 10-11. Indian National Security Advisor, Shivshankar Menon, will hold discussions with the Chinese State Councillor Yang Jiechi.
In addition to the discussions on the India–China Boundary Question, the two sides are also expected to deliberate on bilateral, regional and international issues of mutual interest.
Both the sides had signed a Border Defence Cooperation Agreement (BDCA) during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Beijing in November 2013. The Agreement was aimed at increasing ground level engagement and formalising patrolling rules to prevent further stand-offs.
