New Delhi: National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, the special Representative for the India-China boundary talks, on Monday sat down with his Chinese counterpart, State Councillor Yang Jiechi, for the 18th round of border talks in New Delhi.

Doval and Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar, a former Indian envoy to China, are among the Indian team holding talks with the Chinese delegation at Hyderabad House to resolve the dispute over the around 4,000-km boundary. The boundary question has seen several incidents of face-offs between the troops of both countries, especially with Chinese troops intruding into the Indian side.
