Overview

  • Wang Yi began a two-day visit on Monday, with the 24th round of Special Representatives talks with National Security Adviser Ajit Doval set for Tuesday morning and a call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi scheduled for 5:30 pm.
  • Jaishankar said ties should be guided by "mutual respect, mutual sensitivity and mutual interest" and that differences must not become disputes.
  • Discussions covered practical confidence-building steps including resuming direct passenger flights, reopening selected border trade passes, pilgrimages and visas, people-to-people exchanges, connectivity and river data sharing.
  • Despite disengagement at several friction points, each side continues to keep roughly 50,000–60,000 troops in eastern Ladakh and frontline forces have not been fully pulled back.
  • The visit lays groundwork for Modi’s planned trip to Tianjin for the Aug. 31–Sept. 1 SCO summit, with the diplomatic push unfolding against recent U.S. tariff actions on Indian goods.
