Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in New Delhi to discuss boundary and bilateral issues. The meeting, amid Trump’s tariff move, signals efforts by India and China to ease tensions and improve ties.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at his residence, 7 Lok Kalyan Marg, New Delhi. The meeting is part of efforts by India and China to reduce tensions and improve ties. Wang Yi is in India on a two-day visit at the invitation of National Security Advisor Ajit Doval to attend the 24th round of Special Representatives’ Talks on the boundary issue. Earlier, he held talks with NSA Doval and met External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar.
The meeting between PM Modi and Wang Yi comes amid changing global dynamics. US President Donald Trump’s recent decision to impose tariffs, including a 50% tariff on Indian goods, has reshaped trade and diplomatic equations. Interestingly, despite China’s support for Pakistan during Operation Sindoor after the Pahalgam terror attack, both New Delhi and Beijing appear to be softening their positions.
Officials see the meeting as an important step towards stabilising relations between the two Asian powers, even if progress may take time. The talks underline the need for dialogue at the highest level, particularly on boundary issues and regional security.
