India, China open door to clarifying LAC perceptions
An eight-point outcome document released on Wednesday says the two sides ‘discussed ways to improve understanding of LAC in appropriate areas, for better border management’
Context
During the 25th round of Special Representatives (SR) talks in Beijing, India and China agreed to improve their understanding of each other's perception of the Line of Actual Control (LAC). This consensus, achieved between National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, aims to address the root cause of frequent border tensions by initiating a process for better LAC understanding, though stopping short of formal "clarification."
