China’s top diplomat Wang Yi highlighted to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi how dialogue mechanisms between their countries have been revived when the two met on Tuesday, following their latest cautious overture amid a rapidly evolving global landscape.
In New Delhi, Wang said that during border talks he and India’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval had reached a consensus on regular management and control to maintain peace in border areas, properly handling sensitive points and advancing delimitation talks in specific regions, when conditions permitted.
Wang said they also agreed to revive dialogue mechanisms across various sectors, according to a Chinese foreign ministry statement.
In the meeting, Modi commended the “steady progress” achieved in mending the bilateral ties, noting that it was guided by “respect for each other’s interests and sensitivities”.
“Stable, predictable, constructive ties between India and China will contribute significantly to regional as well as global peace and prosperity,” the Indian leader wrote on X after his meeting with Wang on Tuesday.
Modi is set to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin in late this month, which would be his first visit to China in seven years.
