Border peace serves shared interests of China, India

China Daily  

Both China and India are ancient civilizations whose interactions transcend even the formidable barrier of the Himalayas. Since India's independence and the founding of the People's Republic of China in the mid-20th century, bilateral relations have navigated through phases of honeymoon, confrontation, and ongoing enhancement and growth. The border standoff since 2020 dealt a blow to the bilateral ties of the two biggest developing countries, which does not serve the fundamental interests of China and India and their peoples. Though in June Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared victory for his alliance in India's general election, his party lost seats to a stronger than expected opposition. By actively engaging in joint efforts to address climate change, China and India can set a positive example for the world and make significant contributions toward a more sustainable planet.
