Despite the long -standing border disputes and political tensions between India and China, the two countries are making new efforts to carry forward their relations. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said during a visit to New Delhi that both countries should establish the right strategic partnership and should be considered as partners. This statement clarified that both Beijing and New Delhi are keen to stabilize bilateral relations and find new avenues of cooperation. Wang Yi told Dr. Jaishankar about the American tariff that the world is going towards rapid change. Referring to America, he said that one-sided is facing bullying. Apart from this, the world is facing free trade business and international challenges.
History is witness that India and China have seen difficult times. The clash of the Galwan Valley of June 2020 had brought relationships to the lowest level in decades, but in the present time the leadership ability of the two countries focus on the fact that tension is reduced and found opportunities for cooperation at regional and globally.
Importance of border peace and dialogue
Seema Shanti was a major issue in the meeting of Wang Yi and Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. Jaishankar clearly stated that the basis of any positive motion in India-China relations has the ability to maintain peace and harmony in the border areas. Wang Yi also admitted that dialogue and exchange at all levels are gradually being restored. It is an indication that the two countries now want to look towards the future, rather than only stuck on border disputes. In addition, the border talks between Ajit Doval and Wang Yi have raised hope that long -stuck negotiations can lead to progress.
Business and bilateral cooperation opportunities
During the meeting, the two leaders also discussed business and economic relations. China is one of the largest trading partners in India, but the business balance has long been tilted in favor of Beijing. Jaishankar also interacted on issues like river data sharing, border trade, contact and cultural exchange. Such steps will not only improve business relations but will also strengthen mutual trust. Wang Yi’s statement is also important that India and China can set examples for developing countries. This simply means that both countries can leave their differences behind and play a leading role for the global South.
SCO summit and future direction
Wang Yi’s visit took place a few days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to China. Modi will go to Beijing for the first time in seven years to participate in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit. Both China and India are important members of the SCO and this platform gives both countries an opportunity to share their views on regional security, opposition terrorism and economic cooperation. In this context, Wang Yi’s visit and his conversation with Jaishankar is not limited to bilateral relations only, but it is also associated with the collective security and stability of Asia.
