External Affairs Minister (EAM) Jaishankar during his talks with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in New Delhi on Monday said that there could be positive momentum in ties between the neighbours only if there was peace on their border, reaffirming New Delhi’s stance.
“Basis for any positive momentum in our ties is to maintain peace and tranquility on our border,” Jaishankar told Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s who arrived in Delhi on Monday for a two-day visit to mend ties with India, which plunged after the deadly skirmishes along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in 2020.
“It is also important that de-escalation on border continues,” he said, adding that he expects discussions will contribute to a stable, forward looking relationship.
The EAM further emphasised the need to enhance stability in the global economy. This comes as pressure mounts from Washington, with US President Donald Trump threatening to impose tariffs on allied countries and adversaries alike to settle trade deficits since he took office in January.
This marks the 24th round of the Special Representatives’ (SR) talks on the India-China boundary question. Yi will hold the talks with National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval and Jaishankar during his visit.
