The meeting between National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi during the recent BRICS National Security Advisers’ gathering offered another reminder that despite decades of dialogue, the India-China boundary dispute remains unresolved.
NSA Ajit Doval said India welcomed the US-Iran MoU with cautious optimism, linking it to energy security, freedom of navigation, supply chains and regional stability.
During the meeting, the NSAs/Heads of Delegation of BRICS member countries will exchange views on the theme ‘Non-traditional security challenges confronting the world today’.
NSA Ajit Doval used a major security gathering in Moscow to highlight maritime security concerns, seek UN reforms and review strategic cooperation with Russia.
They are understood to have reviewed the situation in West Asia and deliberated on ways to navigate the crisis while ensuring minimal impact on the country.
Amid escalating tensions with Pakistan and Operation Sindoor, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval Thursday briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the latter's residence here.
The Pakistani NSA, who is also the Director General of the ISI, has reportedly spoken to Doval in an effort to de-escalate the situation.
India is believed to have told friendly nations that it did not want to escalate the situation after carrying out missile attacks on terrorists' hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), but is ready to retaliate if the neighbouring country decides to escalate.
