Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met in New Delhi on August 19, 2025, marking a positive diplomatic turn following years of border tensions since the 2020 Ladakh clash. They emphasized mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and set the foundation for renewed engagement, including resuming direct flights, issuing journalist visas, and promoting business and cultural exchanges. Concurrent border talks involving NSA Ajit Doval focused on de-escalation, boundary delimitation, and confidence-building measures.
