The foreign ministers of India and China have met in New Delhi in a renewed effort by the nuclear-armed Asian rivals to ease tensions after a five-year border standoff.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has met China’s top diplomat Wang Yi and hailed the “steady progress” made in improving the bilateral relationship after a years-long standoff between the nuclear-armed Asian powers and as the two nations navigate a shifting global economy upended by United States President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s visit to India, concluded Tuesday, was nothing short of historic, even as bilateral ties between New Delhi and Beijing seemed poised to grow after five years of an ongoing border clash.
