With China raising the pitch on the border stand-off over the last two weeks, India on Thursday maintained a measured tone, saying that diplomatic channels were available and were being used to address the situation.

National Security Advisor Ajit Doval is likely to visit China on July 26-27 for the BRICS NSAs meeting hosted by his counterpart, Chinese State Councillor Yang Jiechi. Both are also the Special Representatives designated by their governments to discuss border issues.

New Delhi, meanwhile, also reiterated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping had a conversation on a range of issues on the sidelines of the BRICS leaders meeting last week in Hamburg. The Chinese government had said that there was no official meeting between the two leaders.
