On July 14, 2025, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in Beijing.

Wang Yi said that the international landscape is undergoing profound changes, while unilateralism, protectionism, power politics and bullying are posing serious challenges to the world. As two major Eastern civilizations and major emerging economies living adjacent to each other, the essence of China-India relations lies in how to live in harmony and help each other succeed. President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached important common understandings during their meeting in Kazan last year, which charted the course for improving and developing China-India relations. The two sides should aim high, plan for the long term, stay committed to good-neighborliness and friendship, realize the "Dragon-Elephant Tango", and find a way for mutual respect and trust, peaceful coexistence, common development and win-win cooperation.

Wang Yi stated that this year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and India. The sustained improvement and growth of bilateral relations have not come easily and should be cherished. China-India relations have their own historical logic and internal driving force; their relationship does not target any third party, nor should it be disrupted by any third party. The two sides should build mutual trust rather than suspicion, pursue cooperation rather than competition, and help each other succeed rather than engage in mutual attrition. China is ready to work with India to implement the important common understandings reached between the leaders of the two countries, demonstrate the strategic vision as major emerging developing countries, consistently enhance political mutual trust, meet each other halfway to expand exchanges and cooperation, address contradictions and differences from a broader perspective, strengthen coordination and collaboration in multilateral platforms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and promote the sustained, sound and steady development of China-India relations.

Wang Yi noted that President Xi Jinping has put forward the vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi advocates that the the world is one family. These concepts are interrelated. Both China and India support multilateralism and hope to make the international order more just and equitable. China is ready to strengthen communication and coordination with India, jointly safeguard the multilateral trading system, the stability of global industrial and supply chains and the international environment of openness and cooperation, promote an equal and orderly multipolar world as well as universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, and jointly uphold the common interests of the Global South, so as to contribute to regional peace, stability, development and prosperity.

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said that the meeting between the two leaders in Kazan has provided important guidance for India-China relations. Exchanges and cooperation in various fields between the two countries are being normalized. He expressed his appreciation for China's facilitation for Indian pilgrims to resume visits to the "sacred mountain and lake" in China's Xizang. India and China are development partners rather than competitors. India is willing to view its relations with China from a long-term perspective and take the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations as an opportunity to focus on common interests, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, enhance people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and jointly safeguard peace and tranquility in the border areas. Both sides should make efforts to accumulate positive factors in bilateral relations, so that the differences will not escalate into disputes, and competition will not turn into conflict. As India and China are important neighbors, major countries with large populations, and major global economies, their relations have regional and global significance. India adheres to strategic autonomy and pursues an independent foreign policy. India is willing to strengthen coordination and cooperation with China in multilateral areas and contribute to building a multipolar world. India fully supports China, as the rotating chair, in hosting a successful SCO summit.
