"China's Top Diplomat Urges Stable Ties with India Amidst Military Tensions, EAM Jaishankar Steals Limelight at ASEAN Meet"
China's top diplomat, Wang Yi, emphasized the need for stable bilateral ties with India and mutual support instead of suspicion, as both countries seek to ease simmering military tensions along their shared border. The two nations share a 3,800-km frontier and have experienced a setback in their relationship following a border clash in 2020. Wang urged both sides to work together to find a mutually acceptable solution to border issues and not let specific issues define their overall relationship. They agreed to hold the next round of military commander-level talks on border issues soon. Additionally, Wang called for a fair and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies in India.
