New Delhi: National security adviser Ajit Doval is currently in China to attend the Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa (BRICS) National Security Advisers’ (NSA) meet scheduled on Thursday and Friday. The NSA will also get an opportunity to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping along with his BRICS counterparts. While the overwhelming focus of the global media is on the ongoing India-China standoff in Doklam in the trijunction area, the Chinese media hasn’t scaled down on its rhetoric much. The Chinese side will not talk with India on the issue before the Indian troops’ unconditional withdrawal from Chinese territory. Alleging that Indian soldiers are threatening Chinese territory, on Monday, the Chinese military threatened India to think carefully about its continued deployments.
