On August 19, 2025 local time, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs Wang Yi at the Prime Minister's Office in New Delhi.

Narendra Modi asked Wang Yi to convey his cordial greetings to President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang, and expressed his anticipation of visiting China to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Tianjin Summit and meet with President Xi Jinping. India will fully support China's work as the rotating chair of the SCO to ensure the complete success of the Summit.

Narendra Modi said that both India and China are ancient civilizations, and they have enjoyed a long history of friendly exchanges. The meeting between the leaders of the two countries in Kazan last October marked a turning point for the improvement and development of bilateral relations. India and China are partners, not rivals, and are facing the common task of accelerating development. Both sides should strengthen exchanges, enhance understanding, and expand cooperation to demonstrate to the world the great potential and bright prospects of India-China cooperation. The two sides should also properly manage and settle boundary questions, so that differences will not evolve into disputes.

Narendra Modi said that this year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between India and China. Both sides should view bilateral relations from a long-term perspective. India-China cooperation is indispensable for the advent of an Asian century. Working hand in hand, the two sides will contribute to world development and benefit all humanity.

Both sides have been earnestly implementing the common understandings reached by the leaders of the two countries, promoting bilateral relations to enter a new course of improvement and development. This has not come by easily, and should be cherished. Wang Yi said that his visit to India, upon invitation, to attend the Talks Between the Special Representatives of China and India on the Boundary Question also serves to prepare for high-level exchanges between the two countries. Through comprehensive and in-depth communication, in terms of bilateral relations, the two sides have agreed on restarting dialogue mechanisms across various fields, deepening mutually beneficial cooperation, upholding multilateralism, jointly addressing global challenges, and opposing unilateralism and bullying acts. On boundary questions, the two sides reached new consensus on conducting normalized management and control, maintaining peace and tranquility in the border areas, properly handling sensitive issues, and initiating boundary delimitation negotiations in areas where conditions are met.

Wang Yi emphasized that China-India relations have experienced ups and downs, and the lessons learned are worth remembering. Regardless of the circumstances, both sides should adhere to the correct positioning of being partners, not rivals, and prudently manage differences to ensure that boundary disputes do not affect the overall relationship between the two countries. In the current international situation, the strategic significance of China-India relations is increasingly prominent, and the strategic value of China-India cooperation is even more notable. Both sides will earnestly implement the important common understandings reached by the leaders of the two countries, strengthen exchanges and cooperation across various fields, promote the steady and long-term development of China-India relations, bring greater benefits to the people of both countries, and make due contributions to the cause of human progress as two major civilizations.
