Ajit Doval arrives in Beijing for India-China boundary talks

National Security Advisor Ajit Doval arrived in Beijing on 24 August 2026 ahead of the 25th round of Special Representatives-level talks on the India-China boundary question. He is scheduled to meet Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who is also Beijing’s Special Representative on the boundary issue. The talks come at a time when both sides are trying to manage border tensions through dialogue. The meeting is diplomatically significant because it keeps the long-running boundary mechanism active. It is also relevant for competitive exams because India-China relations and boundary negotiations are recurring current affairs themes. The visit may also be linked to broader efforts to stabilize bilateral ties.

India changes wheat export policy from prohibited to free

India has changed the export policy for wheat, durum wheat, and related wheat flour products from “Prohibited” to “Free” with immediate effect. The policy shift was reported on 24 August 2026. This means exporters can now ship these products without the earlier blanket restriction, subject to any applicable regulations. The move is significant for agri-trade and food policy. It may also be used in exams to test knowledge of export control terminology. The decision is relevant because wheat is a politically and economically sensitive commodity in India.
