New Delhi, June 23 -- National Security Adviser Ajit Doval met Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi on Monday and reviewed bilateral ties, including progress in efforts to normalise relations after a military stand-off on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) that lasted more than four years. Doval met Wang, who functions as the NSA in his role as Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, on the margins of the Brics NSAs' meeting in New Delhi, external affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on social media. "The two sides reviewed recent developments in bilateral relations and noted progress towards gradual normalisation," Jaiswal said without going into details. He described the discussions as "constructive and forward-looking". Doval "underlined that stable, predictable and constructive bilateral relations contribute to building of trust and better understanding between the two sides", Jaiswal said. Chinese ambassador Xu Feihong said earlier on social media that the Chinese side will use the meeting of Brics NSAs during June 22-23 to exchange views on the international security situation, major international and regional issues, and a joint response to conventional and non-conventional security challenges. The NSAs' meeting is part of preparations for the Brics Summit to be hosted by India, the current chair of the bloc, in September. This is Wang's first visit to India in almost a year against the backdrop of efforts by the two sides to normalise their relationship. After India and China reached an understanding in October 2024 on ending a military stand-off on the LAC that dragged on for more than four years and took relations to a six-decade low, both sides have taken several steps to normalise their ties. Doval also met a top Iranian security official on the margins of the the Brics NSAs' meeting and reviewed the situation in West Asia, the first such contact between the two sides since Iran and US finalised an understanding on de-escalation in the region....
