China’s Foreign Minister and Politburo member Wang Yi, in talks with National Security Adviser Ajit Doval in New Delhi on Monday (June 22, 2026), called for both sides “to accelerate the resumption of dialogue mechanisms and promote exchanges” in trade, finance, and other fields, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement early on Tuesday (June 23, 2026).He also called for the two sides “to respect each other’s core interests, properly handle sensitive issues, place the China-India boundary issue in its appropriate position, and prevent it from affecting the overall situation of bilateral relations.”Mr. Wang’s reference to the resumption of dialogue mechanisms being “essential” follows the Chinese Ambassador to India saying earlier this month that most of the dialogue frameworks between India and China still remained stalled. “China and India have nearly 50 government-to-government dialogue mechanisms; unfortunately, most of them remain stalled,” Xu Feihong had said speaking at The Hindu Huddle in Bengaluru.Mr. Doval had, in Monday’s meeting on the sidelines of the BRICS NSAs meeting in New Delhi, underlined that stable, predictable and constructive bilateral relations contribute to building trust and better understanding between the two sides. A brief statement from New Delhi on Monday said both sides reviewed recent developments in bilateral relations and noted progress towards gradual normalisation in relations.
