China and India have agreed to accelerate negotiations on their border disputes and move beyond the border situation as soon as possible. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement following a meeting of officials from both sides that Beijing and New Delhi agreed to continue to maintain peace in the border area and reach a solution acceptable to both countries. Last month, Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said that amid the ongoing border dispute with China in the Ladakh region, his 1.3 million-strong army remains ready and capable of meeting all current and future security challenges facing his country.
