Wang, a former Chinese foreign minister, is attending the ASEAN plus meetings in Jakarta as the incumbent foreign minister Qin Gang is unwell.
As per Japan-based Kyodo News reports, China released a statement saying that its Foreign Minister Qin Gang will not be able to make it to the ASEAN meetings due to “health reasons”.
“China and India’s common interests clearly outweigh their differences,” Wang Yi told Indian foreign minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, when the two met Friday.
“The two sides should support each other, rather than… suspect each other,” Wang added.
“It is hoped that the Indian side will meet China halfway and find a solution to the border issue that is acceptable to both sides,” Wang said.
The ministry statement added that both countries have agreed on holding the next round of military commander-level talks on the border issue “as soon as possible”.
In 2020, India sought to limit investments from China as political tensions heightened between them.
“China is highly concerned about India’s recent restrictive measures against Chinese companies,” Wang added, while urging New Delhi to provide a “fair, transparent and non-discriminatory business environment”.
For more than three years, India has been locked in a military standoff with China. Jaishankar dubs it the most complex challenge of his long diplomatic career.
Both countries have faced border disputes since 1962, with the latest one being in 2020 when Indian and Chinese forces engaged in a fight in the Galwan Valley.
Earlier, in the month of May, while clarifying India’s stance on the issues, External Affairs Minister Jaishankar said that the two countries can’t be normal until peace and tranquillity are maintained on the Land of Actual
Control (LAC).
“I have made it very clear, publicly as well, that India-China relations are not normal and cannot be normal if peace and tranquillity in the border areas are disturbed…”
Jaishankar said. “I have been very consistent about it and I have not changed my position in this meeting either,” he added.
