Bilateral mechanism has been created for border dispute
Actually, there is a 3488 km long disputed border between India and China. A Special Representative Mechanism was created in 2003 to address issues related to border disputes. It is led by the National Security Advisor from the Indian side and the Foreign Minister from the Chinese side. 19 meetings of this mechanism have been held in the last years, analysts believe that it is a very useful and promising bilateral mechanism. However, the border dispute with China has not ended yet. After the violent clash in Galwan Valley on 5 May 2020, relations between the two countries have reached a low point.
