The militaries of India and China have reportedly agreed on the long-pending proposal to set up a hotline between their headquarters after the informal summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping in Wuhan, the official Chinese media said today.
Modi met Xi last week in an unprecedented two-day 'heart-to-heart' summit to "solidify" the India-China relationship.
"Leaders of the two nations have reportedly agreed to set up a hotline between their respective military headquarters," state-run Global Times daily reported today.
The reported move comes after Modi and Xi agreed to issue "strategic guidance to their respective militaries to strengthen communication in order to build trust and mutual understanding and enhance predictability and effectiveness in the management of border affairs."
