India and China are making significant strides to improve their bilateral relations, recently agreeing to resume direct flights and enhance business links. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed optimism about the progress made during meetings with Chinese officials, including Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who emphasized the need for both countries to be partners rather than adversaries. Amidst external pressures, particularly from U.S. tariff threats, both nations are looking to mend ties, with discussions on boundary delimitation showing promise. As Modi prepares to visit China for the SCO Summit, the atmosphere suggests a potential thaw in long-standing tensions, with both sides committed to building a more substantial partnership based on mutual respect and strategic interests.
