Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri met with the Executive Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of China Ma Zhaoxu in the Indian national capital Tuesday. The dialogue took stock of the positive momentum of ties in 2025.
Rahul's attempt to read excerpts on the 2020 border crisis with China led to repeated interventions from Om Birla & protests by Rajnath Singh & Amit Shah.
Indian corporate chiefs—from Ambani to Adani—are looking to China as a solution to their tech deficit. And China views India as a market where it can offload some excess production.
Speaking at annual press conference, Army chief reiterated that India does not recognise 1963 Sino-Pakistan border pact under which Pakistan illegally ceded Shaksgam Valley to China.
Even as the Chinese Communist Party delegation also met Congress’s Salman Khurshid, the party accused the BJP of double standards for welcoming the Chinese team to its HQ.
While both India and China have carried out disengagement in Eastern Ladakh, the process of de-escalation is still under discussion & has not been agreed upon.

SG sir, India had been distinguishing between the “Military actions of Pakistan” and “Actions of Non-state actors in Pakistan” so far. We are not going to do this bifurcation any more. All acts of terror and military actions will be dealt with by the full force by all branches of Indian defense. So I think the deterrent gained by Operation Sindoor will be effective for 10 or more years. Another major factor is that the value of deterrence is forgotten or erased from the memory of the adversary – (I mean all of Pakistan, public, clerics, politicians, military et all) – with the raise of a new leader and Pakistan is again ready to try another misadventure. Since Kashmir is the JUGULAR VEIN (borrowed from Asim munir) of Pakistan, every time a new leader raises now rhetoric, it catches the imagination against the “enemy”.
As the last dove still flapping its wings feebly on the subcontinent, I would still urge diplomacy, with both China and Pakistan. They come together like a burger and fries combination. A country with a per capita income of less than $ 3,000 is already spending 7 trillion a year on defence. Tripled over a decade. Our allocations for education and public healthcare are simply not enough.
Pakistan will be funded for increasing and matching military might with India by its allies and Muslim countries. Muslim brotherhood is there. This advantage is not available for India.
