India's Army Chief Takes Cautious Stance on China Border Talks.

India's army chief, General Upendra Dwivedi, has taken a cautious stance on resolving the border dispute with China, emphasizing that negotiations will be crucial and that the issue remains sensitive. Dwivedi acknowledged a breakdown of trust between the two countries as a result of the conflict and described the border as "stable, but not normal." While recent diplomatic statements have indicated progress in the border talks, Dwivedi emphasized the need for military commanders to assess how this translates on the ground. The border dispute, which resulted in casualties in 2020, has led to increased military presence and restrictions on Chinese businesses and investments by India. [Extracted from the article]
