Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met the new Indian Ambassador to China P.K. Rawat on
June 22 when, after the pleasantries, Wang Yi said that the "two sides should meet each other
halfway, promote China-India relations to maintain the momentum of recovery, return to the
track of stable and healthy development at an early date, work together to address various
global challenges, and safeguard the common interests of China and India as well as the vast
number of developing countries. Foreign Minister Su Jaishankar recently publicly expressed
his disapproval of the "Eurocentrism" and did not want external forces to interfere in SinoIndian relations, which reflects India's tradition of independence and independence" and
reiterated "Wang Yi put forward four "persistence" on China-India relations: First, adhere to
the important strategic consensus of the leaders of the two countries that "China and India are
not competitors, but cooperative partners, do not pose a threat to each other, and are
development opportunities for each other"; second, insist on Put the border issue in the proper
position of bilateral relations and seek solutions through dialogue and consultation; thirdly,
insist on injecting positive energy into bilateral relations, give full play to the traditional
advantages of people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and continuously expand mutually
beneficial cooperation; fourthly, insist on expanding multilateral cooperation and join hands to
revitalize Eastern civilizations, work together to cope with the complex world and create a
better future for mankind."
(Comment: Wang Yi's remarks predictably indicated no change in China's position in the standoff at the border.)
