New Delhi, Oct 1

External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar on Wednesday extended wishes to Chinese Politburo Member and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and the people of China on the occasion of the country's founding day, expressing hope to continue work towards stabilising and rebuilding India-China ties.

"Greetings to Politburo Member and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and the Chinese people on the occasion of the founding day of the People's Republic of China. Look forward to continuing our work to stabilize and rebuild our ties," EAM Jaishankar posted On X.

China on Wednesday celebrates the founding day, marking the 76th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, which was proclaimed by the Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong on October 1, 1949.

Earlier in August, Chinese Foreign Minister Yi undertook a two-day official visit to India during which he held a meeting with EAM Jaishankar. The Chinese Foreign Minister also held a fresh round of Special Representatives (SR) dialogue on the boundary question with National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval and called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi .

During his meeting with the Chinese Foreign Minister , EAM Jaishankar emphasised that it is essential that the process of de-escalation moves forward, adding that the basis for any momentum in India-China ties remains the ability to jointly maintain peace and tranquillity in the border areas.

"You, Excellency, will of course be discussing border issues with our Special Representative, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, tomorrow. This is very important because the basis for any positive momentum in our ties is the ability to jointly maintain peace and tranquility in the border areas. It is also essential that the de-escalation process move forward," Jaishankar said in his opening remarks.

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and other officials were also present during the meeting, which took place shortly after the Chinese Foreign Minister arrived in New Delhi .

"When the world's two largest nations meet, it is natural that the international situation will be discussed. We seek a fair, balanced, and multi-polar world order, including a multi-polar Asia. Reformed multilateralism is also the call of the day," the EAM said.

"In the current environment, there is clearly an imperative to maintain and enhance stability in the global economy as well. The fight against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations is another major priority. I look forward to our exchange of views," he added.

While I appreciate the diplomatic courtesy, actions speak louder than words. China needs to demonstrate genuine commitment to resolving border issues. The Galwan incident should never be repeated. Our government should proceed with caution.

Jaishankar's balanced approach is commendable. He's extending courtesy while firmly stating our position on border issues. This is what mature diplomacy looks like - neither aggressive nor submissive.

Trust but verify. We should engage diplomatically but also strengthen our border infrastructure and military preparedness. Atmanirbhar Bharat is the way forward to reduce dependency on Chinese imports. Jai Hind! 💪
