<h1>Two heads of state pledge fair, mutually acceptable boundary settlement, reaffirm troop disengagement and boost trade cooperation</h1> Two heads of state agreed to pursue a 'fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable' settlement of a longstanding boundary dispute, reaffirming prior troop disengagement and committing political support for negotiators (special representatives) to continue talks. They pledged to prioritize peace and stability along the border as essential to advancing bilateral relations, to expand trade and investment cooperation from a strategic-political perspective, and to address trade imbalances. The joint statements are political commitments rather than legally binding accords, but they strengthen a framework for continued diplomatic negotiation, multilateral cooperation, people-to-people facilitation and coordinated economic engagement.
