The disputed boundary has led to a three-year standoff between tens of thousands of Indian and Chinese soldiers in the Ladakh area. A clash three years ago killed 24 soldiers.
India’s Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra told Indian reporters that Modi, in an impromptu meeting with Xi, highlighted India’s concerns about their unresolved border issues.
Kwatra said the two leaders agreed to intensify efforts but did not say anything about what Xi’s response to Modi’s expressed concerns or elaborate on details of what the Indian prime minister said. “The two sides should bear in mind the overall interests of their bilateral relations and handle properly the border issue so as to jointly safeguard peace and tranquility in the border region,” it said.
