China and India reaffirm border-control ties via active communication

Officials from China and India confirmed they have recently held ‘active’ military communications aimed at managing their shared Himalayan border. The dialogue builds on a 2023 agreement to reduce bilateral tensions, and both sides committed to using established mechanisms to resolve ‘ground issues’. While no new treaty was signed, the renewed engagement underscores an emphasis on stability amid regional competition and strategic rivalry. Analysts view the move as a signal of measured diplomacy rather than a breakthrough shift in relations.
