Indian Defence Minister Rajanth Singh and his Chinese counterpart Wei Fenghe met in Moscow yesterday (4 September) to discuss their border dispute and agreed to de-escalate the situation through talks.
The two-hour meeting between the Indian and Chinese delegations, which started at 9.30 pm saw the border disputes discussed at length.
Here are a few pictures from the meeting.
This is the first political dialogue after the tension on the borders started.
Both the ministers are in Moscow to participate in a joint meeting of Defence Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries.
Rajnath Singh, who is accompanied by a high-level delegation including the Defence Secretary and other senior officials, had, earlier in the day, addressed the joint meeting where he stated that India is committed to the evolution of a global security architecture which will be open, transparent, inclusive, rules-based and anchored in international laws.
