India-China Breakthrough: China Ready For Border Talks As India Pushes For Border Demarcation
China has said it is ready for talks with India to negotiate and manage the long-disputed border following a direct push by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh.
The statement comes days after Singh met his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at the SCO meet in Qingdao.
Singh had urged for a permanent solution to the LAC demarcation and troop de-escalation, referring to a “structured roadmap” for resolving tensions.
Beijing responded that while the border issue is complicated, established diplomatic and military mechanisms are in place, and both sides must work to keep peace and stability.
The 2020 Galwan Valley clash — which claimed 20 Indian and at least 4 Chinese soldiers — had tanked bilateral relations, but recent developments such as talks resuming and Kailash Mansarovar Yatra reopening signal cautious optimism.
Both sides have agreed to continue dialogue through Special Representative mechanisms and cross-border initiatives.

India has made its position unequivocally clear on the contentious issue of the 14th Dalai Lama's succession, pushing back firmly against China's aggressive claims. In a significant statement, India stressed that the right to choose the next Dalai Lama rests solely with the current Dalai Lama himself and the established traditions. This comes as a direct response to China's Foreign Ministry, which has repeatedly insisted that the selection process must conform to "Chinese laws and historical practice."
The Dalai Lama has consistently rejected Beijing's interference. He has designated the Gaden Phodrang Trust, his formal office, as the ultimate authority in identifying and confirming his successor. Indian Union Minister Kiren Rijiju echoed this sentiment, stating that the succession must honor the age-old traditions and the personal wishes of the Dalai Lama. This high-stakes diplomatic standoff has reignited fears among Tibetans in exile, who have long warned that China may attempt to install a "fake" Dalai Lama to solidify its control over Tibet and undermine the Tibetan freedom movement.
Living in exile in India since fleeing Chinese repression in 1959, the Dalai Lama remains a global icon of peace, despite Beijing's relentless campaign to label him a separatist. As early as 2011, he cautioned the world that Beijing would likely try to manipulate his reincarnation for political gain. With India now taking a public and resolute stand, the future of one of the world's most revered spiritual leaderships hangs in the balance.
