Jaishankar Reveals What India Told China Amid Strained Ties, but Took Them 'a While’ to Agree To
Jaishankar said the 2020 border standoff had hurt official exchanges, visas and flights before contacts began improving again.
- On Monday, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said India-China ties are "better" today than in 2024 and 2025, with the relationship returning to normalcy as border issues are resolved.
- Following the 2020 border standoff, "normal contacts" between India and China halted, though Jaishankar said the current improvement is not a "structural change" but recovery from severe disruption.
- Jaishankar emphasized that "the state of the border determines the state of the relationship," arguing that resolving border tension allows normalcy to return and benefits both nations.
- Referring to last week's Washington summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Jaishankar said the two powers remain "overall... in a competitive mode."
