Amid the ongoing standoff between India and China over the Doklam issue, National Ajit Doval will travel to Beijing to attend the BRICS NSA’s meeting scheduled for later this month.

Briefing the media over the security situation at the border, MEA spokesperson Gopal Baglay confirmed that Doval will be visiting the country on July 27-28. 

The meeting will be hosted by Doval’s counterpart Yang Jiechi. On the Doklam issue, Baglay said India is hoping to find a peaceful solution to resolve all the problems.

 “Diplomatic channels and diplomatic communications have never been ceased, they have never broken,” he told reporters.

Earlier in the day, replying to a question from Samajwadi Party’s Naresh Agarwal on the border dispute, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj India faces a security challenge if China unilaterally changes the status-quo at tri-junction point between China-India and Bhutan.

"India will tolerate its security issue if needed, it can defend itself" Swaraj added.
