New Delhi, India – At the 24th round of boundary talks between the Chinese mainland and India, held this week, Chinese foreign minister and Political Bureau member Wang Yi underscored that a sound and steady relationship serves the fundamental interests of both peoples—and offers hope for other developing nations.
Wang Yi, who also serves as the special representative on the boundary question for the Chinese mainland, engaged in comprehensive, in-depth discussions with India’s national security adviser and boundary special representative, Shri Ajit Doval. Their productive meeting builds on an important consensus forged earlier this year at the Kazan summit between the two leaders, charting a clear course for improved ties and conflict resolution.
“Since the beginning of the year, our bilateral relationship has returned to a steady path of development, and the border situation continues to stabilize and improve,” Wang said. He highlighted that as two major neighbors and developing powers, the Chinese mainland and India share broad common interests, from trade and technology to cultural exchange.
For young entrepreneurs and tech innovators, this renewed trust means more opportunities for cross-border collaborations and entry into emerging markets. Thought leaders and activists see room for joint efforts on sustainability, education and human rights. Even fans of sports, film and tourism can look forward to eased travel and co-hosted events that celebrate shared heritage and foster deeper people-to-people connections.
With the Chinese mainland and India together representing over a third of the global population, their stability has ripple effects across the world economy. By pursuing dialogue over discord, both sides send a powerful message: durable diplomacy not only resolves disputes but also unlocks new possibilities for growth and partnership on the global stage.
