Event Summary

On January 26, 2026, China's President Xi Jinping extended congratulations to India's President Droupadi Murmu on India's Republic Day, as reported by China — Xinhua News Agency. Xi Jinping stated that China and India are 'good neighbours, friends and partners' and that their relations have improved over the past year, which is significant for global peace and prosperity. He expressed hope for expanded exchanges, cooperation, and addressing mutual concerns to foster healthy and stable relations. This diplomatic gesture comes after a period of strained ties following a 2020 border clash that led to heavy militarization. Both China and India began improving relations in 2024, with direct flights resuming in 2025 and increased trade and investment, partly influenced by Donald Trump's foreign policy.
