New Delhi and Beijing held border talks on Friday with a focus on ways to prevent a repeat of a recent face-off between their armed forces at a Himalayan plateau where China, India and Bhutan meet. The Indian side is led represented by National Security adviser Ajit Doval at the talks, while the Chinese delegation is led by special representative Yang Jiechi, AP reports. The two met in Beijing in July on the sidelines of a meeting of the BRICS nations. In June, Indian troops moved in to stop China from constructing a road in the Doklam region of Bhutan, and the confrontation was seen as the worst in decades. Both countries agreed to withdraw their troops on August 28.
