In a significant diplomatic development, China and India have pledged to stabilize bilateral relations and deepen cooperation during high-level talks in New Delhi. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar reaffirmed their commitment to advancing mutual interests while addressing global challenges.
Diplomatic Momentum Amid Global Shifts
Wang emphasized the need for both nations – representing over 2.8 billion people – to "demonstrate global responsibility" as developing world leaders. "Our revitalization processes should be mutually beneficial," he stated, highlighting opportunities for collaboration in multilateral frameworks like BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
Economic and Cultural Bridges
The ministers noted progress in restoring cross-border exchanges, including the resumption of Indian pilgrimages to sacred sites in China's Xizang Autonomous Region. Jaishankar welcomed China's facilitation of these cultural ties, while both sides agreed to accelerate economic cooperation and people-to-people exchanges.
Vision for Multipolar World Order
Marking 75 years of diplomatic relations, the nations committed to "promoting a fair, multipolar world" through enhanced strategic coordination. Wang stressed the importance of viewing each other as "partners rather than rivals," with Jaishankar reaffirming India's adherence to the one-China principle, recognizing Taiwan as an inalienable part of China.
The dialogue concluded with plans to maintain border stability and collaborate on global economic governance, positioning the Asian powers as key architects of 21st-century international relations.
