Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale met China's Vice Foreign Minister Kong Xuanyou as part of regular diplomatic consultations between India and China in New Delhi on Friday.
During the meeting, the two sides reviewed recent developments in bilateral relations and discussed the agenda for bilateral engagement, including high-level exchanges, in the coming months.
The two sides also exchanged views on regional and international issues of common interest.
The Asian giants were locked in a 73-day military face off in a remote, high-altitude stretch of their disputed border last year, with, at one point, soldiers from the two sides throwing punches and stones at each other.
The confrontation between the nuclear-armed powers in the Himalayas underscored Indian alarm at China's expanding security and economic links in South Asia.
Earlier it was reported that, the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader was facing increasing isolation in his home in exile as India tones down an assertive stand towards its powerful neighbour and rival, China, in the hope of calming ties strained by a border stand-off.
China's ambitious Belt and Road initiative of transport and energy links bypass India, apart from a corner of the disputed Kashmir region, also claimed by Pakistan, but involves India's neighbours Sri Lanka, Nepal and the Maldives.
Now Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, is reversing course, apparently after realising its hard line on China was not working, and the Dalai Lama is facing the cold shoulder.
"We are moving forward with this relationship, the idea is to put the events of 2017 behind us," an Indian government source involved in China policy said.
The idea is to "be sensitive" to each other's core concerns and not let differences turn into disputes, the source said.
The Dalai Lama has lived mostly in the north Indian town of Dharamsala since 1959, when he fled a Chinese crackdown on an uprising in his homeland.
In Dharamsala, his supporters run a small government in exile and campaign for autonomy for Tibet by peaceful means. India has allowed him to pursue his religious activities in the country and to travel abroad.
