BeijingIndia and China are expected to hold the next round of talks on border issues as well as on other bilateral topics next month, the first between the two countries after Chinese President Xi Jinping began his second term as the chief of the ruling Communist party.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said here Friday that the 20th round of the India-China Special Representatives border talks as well as the Russia, India and China (RIC) Foreign Ministers meeting will be held in “due course”.
She declined to give a schedule of both the meetings.
