NEW DELHI: Foreign secretary S Jaishankar on Tuesday held wide ranging talks with senior Bhutanese officials in Thimphu amid reports of fresh deployment by the People's Liberation Army near Doklam, weeks after the stand-off ended following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Xiamen.The two leaders had in the meeting decided to put in place more confidence building measures (CBMs) to prevent a repeat of the such incidents.Doklam is a trijunction point on the borders of India, China and Bhutan.Jaishankar's trip to Thimphu is the maiden visit by a top Indian official to Bhutan since the Doklam stand off ended on August 28. The foreign secretary is accompanied by top government officials from Delhi.Although the stand off at Doklam has ended, there are reports indicating that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) had deployed more troops on the forward posts in the vicinity of the trijunction point. Interestingly, these reports have appeared ahead of the Chinese Communist Party Congress , which is all set to re-elect President Xi to a second term. These deployments could thus be an attempt by PLA to show off its strength.Earlier, the PLA reportedly entered the territory claimed by Thimphu at three points along the disputed China-Bhutan border while the stand off in Doklam drew global attention.Both Delhi and Thimphu are worried over the PLA's move to deploy more troops in the vicinity of Doklam and its repeated intrusions into Bhutanese territory.A proposal for a trilateral mechanism, involving representatives of India, China and Bhutan, to settle the trijunction boundary point is on the cards. Besides Bhutan, India and China share trijunction boundary points with Myanmar (at Diphu Pass) and Nepal (at Lipulekh Pass).Delhi and Beijing had in 2012 agreed that the trijunction boundary points among India, China and third countries would be finalized in consultation with the third countries.Thimphu is also concerned about Beijing's delay to schedule the next round of negotiations to settle China-Bhutan boundary dispute. Bhutan and China had in August 2016 held the 24th round of negotiations to resolve their boundary dispute. Though the 25th round was to be held this year, Beijing has so far showed no interest in scheduling it, prompting Thimphu to fear that China might suspend the negotiations and continue to occupy the territory of Bhutan bit by bit through low-profile incursions by PLA troops.Beijing is upset with Thimphu on Bhutan's position on the stand off in Doklam, which was in sync with India's. The PLA had started building a road in Doklam, brushing off protests by Royal Bhutanese Army soldiers. Indian Army soldiers from nearby Doka La post in Sikkim had intervened mid-June following request from Bhutan, leading to the stand off at Doklam.The border and military personnel of India and China are expected to put in place a mechanism to avoid Doklam type incidents in future as decided by Modi and Xi in Xiamen on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit last month.India needs to keep a watchful eye on the Chinese troop movements and deployment along the border, especially in areas such as Dokalam. A negotiated resolution on the stand-off gave comfort to both the countries, but was certainly a diplomatic setback for Beijing. Given China’s ambitions of global dominance, Beijing may not have given up on its plans and will look for an opportunity to pursue its plans in Dokalam. India should keep coordinating with Bhutan to prevent the recurrence of this summer’s events.
