NEW DELHI – China’s top diplomat, Foreign Minister Wang Yi, has expressed optimism over the evolving relationship between Beijing and New Delhi, describing the trajectory as a “positive trend toward cooperation.” The comments come during a rare visit to India and mark a hopeful turn following years of heightened tensions.
Wang Yi highlighted that dialogue at multiple levels—ranging from political leadership to strategic negotiators—has resumed and shown concrete progress. He cited improving border stability, increased economic interactions, and discussions on reopening trade routes and direct flights as key indicators of renewed engagement.
The improved diplomatic environment is underscored by several notable developments: the resumption of border-level patrol agreements on the Line of Actual Control, preparations for a potential state visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and a series of bilateral dialogues including youth and consular exchanges. These measures demonstrate a shared commitment to rebuild mutual trust and address long-standing issues through practical steps.
Observers view this warming of ties as strategically pragmatic. With regional and global uncertainties rising, both China and India are seeking to ensure stability along their shared borders and promote economic collaboration. The recent shift signals a cautious yet deliberate effort to move past discord and pursue cooperative pathways.
