The bilateral relationship between China and India is progressing significantly, with positive interactions occurring on a number of levels. Randhir Jaiswal, the Ministry of External Affairs’ spokesperson, said during Friday’s weekly media briefing that the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Kazan was a significant turning point. The meeting was followed by fruitful talks between the Chinese Vice Foreign Minister and Indian Foreign Secretary.
“Since Chinese President Xi and Prime Minister Modi met in Kazakhstan. Since then, we’ve had positive interactions at the EAM and NSA levels. In January, the Foreign Secretary also visited China and talked with his counterpart. Discussions and discussions have continued, and they have been heading in the correct manner. There have been a number of in-principle clearances and agreements obtained, and hopefully these will proceed in the next days,” Jaiswal stated.
India and China agreed to resume the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in 2025, a significant Hindu pilgrimage, and cooperate on trans-border rivers. They also agreed to resume Nathula border trade, promote cross-border exchanges, strengthen border management, and advance bilateral relations. India is also engaged in negotiations for a Free Trade Agreement with Peru, emphasizing the importance of improving logistics to strengthen economic ties. Details are still being worked out, but these developments are positive steps in normalizing relations between the two nations.
