India, China agree to push ‘early harvest’ of boundary delimitation after 25th SR talks
Key facts
- The 25th round of Special Representatives talks on the boundary was held in Beijing on 25 August 2026.
- NSA Ajit Doval led India. Foreign Minister Wang Yi led China.
- An eight-point outcome document said both sides will push an 'early and substantial harvest' of boundary delimitation.
- The expert-level mechanism on trans-border rivers will meet in September. Both sides will keep sharing hydrological data.
Why it matters
[Policy] The SR mechanism was set up in 2003 to settle the boundary question. An 'early harvest' means settling the easier sections first. River data matters for the Brahmaputra floods.
