On March 25, 2022 local time, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval of India in New Delhi during his working visit to India.

Wang Yi said, as two major developing countries and representatives of emerging economies, China and India should walk steadily on the path the two countries have chosen, keep the development of bilateral relations on the right course, bear in mind a long-term perspective and join hands to make respective contributions to peace and stability in the region and beyond. To this end, Wang Yi put forward a three-point approach.

First, both sides should view bilateral relations from a long-term perspective. Civilization exchanges between China and India date back to more than a thousand years ago, with friendly cooperation always being the mainstream. The respective efforts made by China and India to realize national rejuvenation will have a far-reaching impact on Asia and the world at large. Both sides should adhere to the strategic judgment made by the leaders of the two countries that "China and India should not be a threat to each other, but an opportunity for each other's development", put the differences on the boundary issue in a proper place in bilateral relations, and stick to the right direction of bilateral ties.

Second, China and India should view each other's development with a win-win mentality. China welcomes India's development and revitalization, and supports India in playing a more important role in international affairs. China does not pursue the so-called "unipolar Asia" and respects India's traditional role in the region. China is ready to explore the "China-India Plus" cooperation in South Asia and forge a sound interaction model, so as to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results at a higher level and in a wider range.

Third, both countries should participate in multilateral processes with a cooperative posture. This year and the next will witness "Asia Moment" in global governance. China will host the BRICS summit, and India will host the summits of the Group of Twenty and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. If China and India speak with one voice, the whole world will listen; if the two countries join hands, the whole world will pay attention. The two sides should step up communication and coordination, support each other, send more positive signals for upholding multilateralism, and inject more positive energy into improving global governance.
