Wang Yi added the historic meeting between President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year has created a new model of high-level interactions between the two countries, enhanced the mutual trust and friendship of leaders of the two countries, and set the direction for future relations. Government departments on both sides have done a lot and made considerable progress in following through on many of the understandings reached by the leaders.
