Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi traveled to New Delhi this week, marking the first visit of a high-level Chinese official to the Indian capital since the two countries agreed to disengage along their Himalayan border last October. Deadly border clashes in the Galwan Valley in 2020 had previously sent bilateral relations into a deep freeze.
Wang met with at least three key Indian officials: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. After Modi’s meeting with Wang, the Indian leader highlighted the “steady progress” made since the 2020 military standoff. Wang reiterated a familiar platitude about the need for India and China not to be “adversaries” but “partners” and that the two sides should “trust and support” each other.
