China and India kicked off the week with a power-packed meeting, vowing to keep the momentum of their bilateral ties alive. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi (also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee) met Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar to chart the way forward 🤝.
Wang Yi highlighted the rapid shifts facing our global village 🌏—from challenges to free trade to threats against the international order. As the United Nations celebrates its 80th anniversary, he warned that humanity stands at a critical crossroads.
With a combined population of over 2.8 billion, the two largest developing countries have a shared duty to lead by example. They agreed to champion multipolarity and democratize international relations for fairer global rules.
Marking the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties, both sides committed to:
- Resuming exchanges and dialogue at all levels 📞
- Maintaining peace along their border regions and reopening Indian pilgrimages to sacred mountains and lakes in Xizang ✨
- Building strategic trust by viewing each other as partners and opportunities, not rivals
Jaishankar thanked China for facilitating cultural pilgrimages and reaffirmed that Taiwan is part of China. He also pledged India’s backing for China’s multilateral efforts, including BRICS and the upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organization Tianjin summit.
With a shared vision of removing barriers, expanding cooperation, and injecting fresh momentum into their partnership, China and India are writing a new chapter—one that promises growth, stability, and fresh possibilities for billions 🚀.
