Ties between the two nuclear-armed Asian powers have made ‘steady progress’, India’s PM Modi says.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has met China’s top diplomat Wang Yi and hailed the “steady progress” made in improving the bilateral relationship after a years-long standoff between the nuclear-armed Asian powers and as the two nations navigate a shifting global economy upended by United States President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Modi also noted “respect for each other’s interests and sensitiveness” in a statement on social media after meeting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang in New Delhi on Tuesday. China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the countries have entered a “steady development track” and the countries should “trust and support” each other.
Glad to meet Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Since my meeting with President Xi in Kazan last year, India-China relations have made steady progress guided by respect for each other's interests and sensitivities. I look forward to our next meeting in Tianjin on the sidelines of the SCO… pic.twitter.com/FyQI6GqYKC
