Episode 296: Lines of Dialogue: India and China Reconnect
In recent months, several high-ranking Indian officials have met with their Chinese counterparts, indicating an emerging thaw in the relationship. Most recently, India's Minister of External Affairs, Dr S Jaishankar, visited Beijing on 14 July 2025. Jaishankar's meetings with Chinese leaders, including Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Vice President Han Zheng, focused on stabilising and rebuilding ties through practical measures such as resuming direct flights, restarting the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, and promoting people-to-people exchanges. In this episode, Ms Bian Sai, Academic Visitor at ISAS-NUS, is in conversation with Dr C. Raja Mohan, Visiting Research Professor at ISAS-NUS, to discuss the new developments in the relationship between the two Asian giants.
