NEW DELHI:

India and China agreed to redouble efforts to ensure complete disengagement on the contested Himalayan frontier, New Delhi said on Thursday after India's National Security Adviser Ajit Doval met China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Russia.

"Both sides agreed to work with urgency and redouble their efforts to realize complete disengagement in the remaining areas," the Indian government said in a statement.

Meanwhile, in a separate development, Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said on Thursday that India's economic relationship with neighbour China has been very "unfair" and "imbalanced".

Speaking at an event in Geneva, Jaishankar also said about 75% of the "disengagement" problems at India's long and mountainous border with China had been sorted out.
