There has been an “upward trend” in India-China relations in the past nine months as peace and tranquillity prevailed along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), National Security Adviser Ajit Doval said on Tuesday during his talks on the boundary issue with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

Doval said he was pleased to see an “upward trend” since the last round of SR talks held in China in December last year. The talks came after a meeting between Prime Minister Modi and President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Kazan in October last year.

Ajit Doval said during his initial remarks in talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting for the SCO Summit soon.
