India and China are seeking to stabilise their disputed Himalayan border and rebuild military-to-military trust, according to General Upendra Dwivedi, India’s Chief of the Army Staff.
“We are trying to increase trust between the military,” India’s army chief Upendra Dwivedi told reporters in New Delhi.
“The top leadership including prime minister, defence and foreign ministers have met in the last few months” and there is urgency in among the armed forces to keep the borders calm.
Relations deteriorated sharply after a deadly border clash in 2020, but have gradually improved since high-level talks resumed in 2025, including a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping.
Officials from both countries have agreed to disengage from remaining friction points along the 3,488 km Line of Actual Control, with border stability now central to wider efforts to normalise ties. As part of this process, direct flights between India and China resumed in October 2025 after a multi-year suspension linked to the border crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic.
