India-China ties gradually normalising since Modi-Xi Kazan meeting: Jaishankar
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said India-China ties have been gradually normalising since Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping met in Kazan, Russia, in October 2024.
Jaishankar stressed that peace and tranquility along the border are the prerequisite for normal bilateral relations.
During a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Manila, Jaishankar raised India's concerns over market access, trade imbalance, and predictability of supply chains.
The leaders affirmed the normalisation direction again when they met in Tianjin in August 2025.
Jaishankar said differences should not become disputes and diplomacy must manage them properly.
