China, Bhutan hold candid, constructive discussions on border issue

China and Bhutan held candid and constructive talks on their border during the 15th Expert Group Meeting in Beijing from March 30 to April 1. Co-chaired by Hou Yanqi of China and Letho Tobdhen Tangbi of Bhutan, both sides acknowledged recent progress and discussed advancing the Three-Step Roadmap. They agreed to maintain momentum and hold the next meeting in Bhutan at a convenient time.
The roadmap, signed in October 2021, aims to resolve the long-standing border issue through three phases: clarifying disputed areas, delineating the border line, and finalizing a formal agreement. On the sidelines, the 3rd Joint Technical Team meeting reviewed boundary alignment in undisputed areas in line with the cooperation agreement.
