Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has announced that China is ready to collaborate with India to improve their relationship this year, which marks 75 years of diplomatic ties between the two countries. At a press conference, Wang Yi expressed optimism about past progress and highlighted a meeting last year between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a key moment for strengthening their connection.
Wang stated, “China and India are each other’s largest neighbors. We should work together as friends to help each other succeed.” He emphasized that both nations have important roles as major developing countries and should support one another instead of competing.
Wang also mentioned their shared goal of maintaining peace, especially concerning their borders, and urged that their relationship shouldn’t be defined by disagreements over borders. Both countries, he said, should stand together against global power struggles and work towards a better future for both nations and the world, especially for the Global South.
Meanwhile, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar had a positive meeting with Wang Yi at the G20 Foreign Ministers Meeting in South Africa. He appreciated the chance to discuss cooperation, noting the importance of working together during difficult times. Their talks have led to better communication and efforts to manage their relationship, including discussions about border issues.
