India’s Foreign Secretary, Vikram Misri, visited China in January 2025, during which both countries made key announcements regarding the future of their bilateral relations. During his visit, he met with Wang Yi, China’s Foreign Minister, who also serves as the Director of the Office of the Central Commission of Foreign Affairs and is a politburo member of the Communist Party. Additionally, he held discussions with Liu Jianchao, Minister of the International Department of the Chinese Communist Party.

Following these meetings, India released a statement suggesting that efforts are underway to restore various aspects of bilateral relations. This includes plans to resume media and think tank exchanges, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, and bilateral flights, all of which are expected to take shape by the summer of 2025.
