In a constructive dialogue, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for a partnership between India and China rather than an adversarial stance, during his visit to New Delhi. His meeting with Indian counterpart S. Jaishankar sought to mend ties strained by past confrontations, notably the Galwan Valley clash, and to foster cooperation in various sectors.

Wang acknowledged the progress made in stabilizing their shared border and mentioned efforts to normalize relations, including restored travel and trade initiatives. The visit also sets the stage for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s impending trip to China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit, highlighting the growing ties against the backdrop of rising tensions with the United States.

The discussions included a comprehensive overview of key issues impacting both nations and their regional influence, with emphasis on the need for a balanced global order. Jaishankar’s comments underscored India's commitment to a multipolar world amid its increasingly scrutinized ties with the US following recent trade penalties.

The atmosphere, while cautious, indicates a potential shift towards better diplomatic interactions as both nations work to overcome previous hostilities and establish a new framework for cooperation moving forward.
