Ajit Doval and Wang Yi used round 25 of the special-representatives talks in Beijing to discuss border calm, delimitation and management mechanisms; no final settlement was announced. In Tehran, Pakistan reported progress in contacts with Iran while Iran promised a response to wider US sanctions. The diplomatic channel advanced, but no agreement was announced.
Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi chaired round 25 of the special-representatives talks on the boundary question in Beijing on 25 August. The Times of India reported that preserving calm at the border and wider bilateral relations were on the agenda. The meeting turned the previous day's arrival and schedule into a completed diplomatic step; the two sides announced no final boundary settlement.[1]
The meeting agenda covered delimitation work, border management and transboundary-cooperation mechanisms. Those subjects show a meeting centred on contact and management tools rather than an announced resolution. The two sides also discussed the goal of preserving calm in the border areas. The disclosed step was the continuation of the existing special-representatives channel, not a new treaty or territorial arrangement.[1]
CNA reported on 25 August that Pakistan described progress in its Tehran contacts and that Iran promised a response to the widened US sanctions. A separate Aju Press report also confirms the Pakistani delegation's meetings, Washington's new secondary-sanctions package and Iran's response pledge. The claim of progress marks a new stage after the previous day's reports described the search for a settlement as stalled; no agreement was announced.[2]
