China and India are continuing talks at various levels, but Beijing has not yet confirmed whether Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit New Delhi on August 18 to meet India’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Thursday that the two countries are “maintaining interactions at various levels” and are ready to work together on key issues.
He said China is willing to act on agreements reached between their leaders, support high-level talks, build political trust, increase cooperation, and handle differences carefully.
“We stand ready to work with India to act on the important common understandings reached between leaders of our two countries, maintain the momentum of high‑level exchanges, cement political mutual trust, enhance practical cooperation, properly handle differences, and promote the sustained, sound and steady development of China‑India ties," Lin said.
When asked about Wang Yi’s possible travel plans, Lin said, “Relevant information will be released in due course.”
He described the China‑India relationship as a partnership of “immense potential” in the Global South and said working together is the “right choice” for both nations.
Lin also said that China is open to increasing trust, broadening cooperation, managing differences with a wider view, and working more closely with India on global platforms like the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation to keep bilateral relations stable and strong.
At the same time, India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said both countries are working to restart trade through designated border points. These include Lipulekh Pass in Uttarakhand, Shipki La Pass in Himachal Pradesh, and Nathu La Pass in Sikkim. The MEA noted that talks on border trade have resumed after a five-year pause.
