The two sides have agreed to:

- adhere to the existing treaties and agreements on border issues signed by China and India;

- strengthen communications between the two sides and regularly coordinate on the border issues

- implement, as soon as possible, the agreements reached at the commander-level talks between the border troops of the two countries.

BEIJING, July 6 -- Chinese Special Representative on the China-India Boundary Question, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a telephone conversation on Sunday evening with Indian Special Representative, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, during which the two sides reached positive consensus on easing their border situation.

Noting that this year marks the 70th anniversary of China-India diplomatic ties, Wang said that bilateral relations have experienced ups and downs and today's development situation has not come easily.

For the incident that occurred not long ago at the Galwan Valley in the western section of the China-India boundary, the merits of what happened are very clear, Wang said, adding that China will continue to firmly defend its territorial sovereignty and safeguard peace and tranquility in the border areas.
