This meeting marked a significant step in rekindling dialogue after a hiatus caused by the 2020 border standoff. Subsequently, in March 2025, both countries conducted the 33rd meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation &amp; Coordination on India-China Border Affairs (WMCC), emphasizing effective border management and the resumption of cross-border exchanges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><b>Economic Interactions<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Despite political tensions, economic ties have remained robust. In the fiscal year 2024, bilateral trade reached $118.4 billion, with China&#8217;s exports to India at $101.7 billion and India&#8217;s exports to China at $16.67 billion.
