What's Special Representative Dialogue for which Doval is visiting China?

The Special Representative (SR) Dialogue is a mechanism established in 2003 to find a political solution to the India-China boundary issue. Suspended since 2019 due to the eastern Ladakh border row, the 23rd round will be held in Beijing on December 18. National Security Advisor Ajit Doval will lead discussions, marking a step towards improved bilateral ties.
