India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has urged China to work toward a permanent resolution of their border dispute, emphasizing the need to rebuild trust after the 2020 military clash.
Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh met with his Chinese counterpart Dong Jun during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Defense Ministers’ meeting in Qingdao, calling for a lasting solution to the long-standing border issue between the two countries.
Singh emphasized the importance of addressing disputes through a structured roadmap and highlighted the need to bridge the trust gap caused by the deadly 2020 standoff in the Himalayas.
India and China, both nuclear-armed and among the world’s most populous nations, share a 3,800 km disputed border. While the border had remained largely peaceful in recent years, tensions rose in 2020 after a deadly clash that resulted in the deaths of 20 Indian and 4 Chinese soldiers. This was followed by a prolonged military standoff, which began to ease in October after both sides agreed to a mutual troop withdrawal.
The SCO is a Eurasian security and political bloc comprises of China, Russia, India, Pakistan, and Iran, and all convened at the defence ministers’ meeting ahead of its autumn summit.
