Russian President Vladimir Putin stated Russia will not interfere in India-China relations, expressing confidence in PM Modi and President Xi Jinping's efforts to resolve border disputes and mutual issues, while highlighting Russia's strong ties with both nations.
India and China held a two-day SCO national coordinators meeting led by Alok Amitabh Dimri and Yan Wenbin, representing the latest institutional step in a diplomatic reset that began in 2024 with troop disengagement from Depsang and Demchok along the Line of Actual Control. Experts say this signals compartmentalisation of India-China ties, with border disputes decoupled from multilateral cooperation, allowing India to engage in Eurasian security and trade without ceding ground to Beijing or Islamabad while maintaining military posture along the border.
