External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing, where he highlighted India’s zero-tolerance approach against terrorism.
Jaishankar, who is visiting China to attend a conclave of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in the Chinese city of Tianjin, said “stable and constructive" ties between the two nations would benefit the world.
“Our meeting today will also include an exchange of views on global and regional issues. Tomorrow, we will be meeting in the format of the SCO, whose primary mandate is to combat terrorism, separatism and extremism. This is a shared concern and India hopes that zero tolerance for terrorism will be strongly upheld," he said in his opening remarks during the meeting with Wang.
It is Jaishankar’s first visit to China after the ties between the two countries came under severe strain following the 2020 military standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.
Jaishankar also pointed out the good progress made in the past nine months for the normalisation of the bilateral relations.
“It is a result of the resolution of friction along the border and our ability to maintain peace and tranquility there. This is the fundamental basis for mutual strategic trust and for smooth development of bilateral relations. It is now incumbent on us to address other aspects related to the border, including de-escalation… We have also earlier agreed that differences should not become disputes, nor should competition ever become conflict. On this foundation, we can now continue to develop our ties along a positive trajectory," he said
