While dialogue is important, we must not compromise on our border security. Trust but verify should be our approach with China. The Kailash Mansarovar yatra resumption is a positive step though!

As someone working in international trade, the resumption of border trade through multiple passes is excellent news. Economic cooperation can build bridges where politics sometimes fails.

I appreciate the peace efforts but hope our government remains firm on protecting Indian territory. The agreement on border management must ensure no repeat of past incursions.
