India-China Relation / After Modi-Xi, now Jaishankar and Chinese Foreign Minister will meet, know what happened

India-China Relation: During the G20 summit, India's Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi discussed in detail the process of withdrawal of troops from the Demchok and Depsang areas of eastern Ladakh. This was the first high-level talks between the two sides after the withdrawal of troops from these points of confrontation on the Line of Actual Control (LAC). This dialogue is part of efforts to set a new direction in India-China relations.

Review of military withdrawal on borders

The two foreign ministers reviewed the recently completed process of withdrawal of troops in Demchok and Depsang. This step is considered important in reducing the four-year-long tension. After the border dispute, both sides have resumed patrolling activities, which is a positive sign for bringing stability in the region.

Discussion on bilateral relations

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said that the two leaders discussed the next steps to improve India-China bilateral relations. Jaishankar said on the social media platform 'X',

"We noted the progress made in the recent military withdrawal process from the India-China border areas and considered the next steps in bilateral relations."

The two countries agreed to normalize bilateral relations, although further concrete steps are required for this.

Discussion on global scenario

The global situation and emerging challenges for both countries were also discussed in this meeting. India and China, which are the two largest economies in the world, exchanged views on issues such as global supply chain, climate change, and economic cooperation.

Withdrawal of troops and way forward

India and China recently completed the withdrawal of troops from Demchok and Depsang. This process was possible after about four and a half years of tense situation. Now both sides have made it clear that they will continue talks to resolve the border dispute and re-implement the patrolling system.

Future of India-China relations

This meeting gives a positive sign towards restoring trust between India and China. However, it is also clear that continuous dialogue and mutual consent are necessary to resolve border disputes and other complex issues.

Improvement in India-China relations is also important for global politics, as the cooperation of these two countries is necessary not only for regional stability but also for international balance. This meeting is being seen by both sides as a possibility of taking relations to new heights in the future.
