When asked about China's expectation regarding Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to India and the 24th Round of Talks Between the Special Representatives of China and India on the Boundary Question, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Monday that China is willing to take the opportunity of Wang's visit to India to work together with the Indian side in implementing the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, maintain the momentum of high-level exchanges, enhance political mutual trust, strengthen practical cooperation, properly manage differences, and promote the sustained, healthy, and stable development of China-India relations.

The Talks Between the Special Representatives of China and India on the Boundary Question serves as a high-level channel for border negotiations between the two countries, Mao said. In December last year, the 23rd meeting of the Special Representatives for the China-India Boundary Question was successfully held in Beijing, yielding multiple consensus points on boundary delimitation talks, border management, institutional mechanisms, and cross-border exchanges and cooperation.

Mao said that since the beginning of this year, both sides have maintained communication through diplomatic channels and actively advanced the implementation of these outcomes.

Regarding this upcoming meeting, China is willing to engage with India on the basis of existing consensus, adopt a positive and constructive attitude, and continue in-depth discussions on the aforementioned issues to jointly sustain lasting peace and tranquility in the border areas, Mao added.

Mao added that during his stay in India, Foreign Minister Wang will also hold in-depth exchanges with Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on bilateral relations and issues of mutual interest.
