Border Dispute

It is noteworthy that no direct flights have been operating between China and India since 2020, even though China is India’s largest bilateral trading partner. A military standoff has been ongoing between the two countries for five years, following a border clash in 2020. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited China for the first time in seven years. He participated in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) regional security meeting.

During this visit, Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks. The two leaders acknowledged that India and China are development partners, not rivals. They also discussed ways to strengthen trade ties amid global tariff uncertainty. Prime Minister Modi expressed his commitment to improving India’s relations with China. He also expressed concern over India’s growing trade deficit with China, which has reached approximately $99.2 billion.
