On July 14, 2023 local time, Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs Wang Yi met in Jakarta with Indian Minister of External Affairs Subrahmanyam Jaishankar at the latter's request.

Wang Yi said that President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached important common understandings of stabilizing China-India relations, and the two sides should translate them into actions, keep to the right direction of bilateral relations, grasp the general trend of world development, and work to stabilize and improve China-India relations. As the two largest developing countries in the world and eternal neighbors, China and India have much more common interests than differences, and it is of global demonstrative significance for the two countries to achieve common development and common prosperity. The two sides should support each other and contribute to each other’s success, instead of undermining and doubting each other. The two sides should focus energy and resources on respective development, improvement of people's livelihood and acceleration of revitalization, and not define overall relations with specific issues. Wang Yi expressed the hope that India would work with China in the same direction to find a solution to border issues acceptable to both sides. China is highly concerned with India's recent restrictive measures against Chinese enterprises, and hopes that India will provide Chinese enterprises with a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory business environment.

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said that the normalization of India-China relations serves the common interests of both sides. India is ready to properly deal with differences between both sides with an open mind, bring India-China relations back on the right track as soon as possible, and create favorable conditions for next-stage high-level exchanges.

The two sides agreed to hold the next round of the China-India Corps Commander Level Meeting on border issues at an early date.

The two sides agreed and reached a principled consensus on launching the process of BRICS membership expansion.
