India and China held the 23rd Corps Commander Level Meeting at the Chushul-Moldo border point, reaffirming that peace and stability have largely prevailed along the Indo-China frontier. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) announced that the discussions were conducted in a cordial and constructive manner, reflecting both nations’ commitment to maintaining calm in the border regions.
This session marked the first high-level interaction in the western sector since the 24th round of Special Representatives’ talks held in August 2025. Officials from both sides reviewed developments since the 22nd Corps Commander meeting in October 2024 and agreed to continue leveraging established communication channels to address ground issues promptly and prevent escalation.
According to China’s Ministry of National Defence, the October 25 meeting at the Moldo-Chushul border point involved detailed and productive exchanges on managing the western section of the shared boundary. Both delegations expressed readiness to sustain dialogue through military and diplomatic avenues, guided by the understanding reached by their national leaders, to ensure continued peace in the border areas.
Earlier this year, on August 31, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping met on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Tianjin, China. Their meeting underscored the mutual emphasis on dialogue, confidence-building, and regional cooperation. Both leaders appreciated the successful disengagement achieved last year, which has helped preserve peace along the border.
They reiterated their shared vision for a fair and mutually acceptable resolution to the boundary issue, aligning with the broader bilateral relationship and the long-term interests of both nations. The MEA noted that both sides welcomed the recent progress made by their Special Representatives and committed to continuing support for their efforts to strengthen stability and cooperation along the border.
