Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said ties between India and China have made “steady progress” since his meeting with President Xi Jinping last year, as he sought to push for more “stable, predictable and constructive” relations during talks with Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi in New Delhi on Tuesday.
After the meeting, Modi wrote on X: “Glad to meet Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Since my meeting with President Xi in Kazan last year, India-China relations have made steady progress guided by respect for each other’s interests and sensitivities. I look forward to our next meeting in Tianjin on the sidelines of the SCO Summit. Stable, predictable, constructive ties between India and China will contribute significantly to regional as well as global peace and prosperity.”

Border tensions remain unresolved
The encounter came a day after India’s external affairs minister, S Jaishankar, acknowledged that the two neighbours had endured “a difficult period” in relations, but now sought to “move ahead”.
He underlined that progress depended on jointly maintaining calm along the disputed frontier. “The basis for any positive momentum in our ties is the ability to jointly maintain peace and tranquillity in the border areas. It is also essential that the de-escalation process move forward,” Jaishankar said, noting that disengagement and dismantling of military infrastructure at the Line of Actual Control remained unfinished ten months after Modi’s last meeting with Xi.
Focus on peace and boundary resolution
During his visit, Wang held talks with Jaishankar and co-chaired the 24th Meeting of the Special Representatives with India’s national security adviser, Ajit Doval.
The prime minister’s office said Modi stressed the importance of preserving peace along the frontier and reiterated India’s commitment to a “fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable resolution” of the boundary dispute.
