ADVERTISEMENTReferring to the recent diplomatic engagements between the two leaders, Wang said Modi and Xi had a successful meeting in Tianjin last August. "Building on the fresh start enabled by their Kazan meeting in 2024, the Tianjin summit brought about further improvement in China-India relations," he added. All this has brought tangible benefits to the two peoples.”On the future trajectory of ties, Wang said both countries “must maintain the correct strategic perception of each other as partner rather than rival, and opportunity instead of threat”. Wang further said India and China should support each other in hosting BRICS summits. BRICS, which originally comprised Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, has since expanded to include Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, Indonesia and Iran.
