On the sidelines of the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Johannesburg, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi had a meeting on Thursday. Some notable developments in India-China relations had since taken place since the last meeting between the ministers in November 2024, remarked Jaishankar. Areas of discussion included bilateral issues relating to peace and tranquility in border areas, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, and the resumption of direct flights. They also exchanged views on the G20 and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The meeting reflects ongoing efforts to stabilize and rebuild ties between the two nations, with both sides agreeing to take "people-centric steps" in building relations.
