On June 23, 2025, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs Wang Yi met with India's National Security Adviser and Special Representative for the China-India Boundary Question Shri Ajit Doval in Beijing.

Wang Yi said that in October last year, President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi met in Kazan and reached important common understandings on improving bilateral relations. Recently, there have been some positive developments in the relations between the two countries, which require both sides to further strengthen communication, enhance mutual trust, and strive to resolve practical issues. Only through "a cooperative pas de deux of the dragon and the elephant" will mutual benefit be achieved. China and India should stay committed to the important consensus that they offer development opportunities and pose no threat to each other, and that they are cooperative partners, rather than competitors and rivals. China and India should follow the direction of good-neighborliness and friendship, strive for a mutually beneficial and win-win prospect, demonstrate the historical wisdom of the two ancient civilizations, properly handle sensitive issues, and maintain peace and tranquility in the border areas. Both sides should focus more on cooperation, strengthen exchanges at all levels and across all sectors, and support each other on multilateral platforms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

Shri Ajit Doval said that the important common understandings reached between the leaders of both countries charted the course for the development of bilateral relations. The strategic goals of India and China are accordant, with a focus on development being both nations' top priority. Both sides should view bilateral relations from a long-term and strategic perspective, understand and accommodate each other, and expand common interests. Taking the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries as an opportunity, the two sides should promote practical cooperation in various fields, properly handle border issues, and jointly maintain peace and tranquility in the border areas. India is willing to strengthen cooperation and coordination with China in the multilateral arena and fully supports China in hosting a successful summit as the rotating chair of the SCO. He believes that India and China, as two major Asian countries, can make greater contributions to the international community.
