Last week, during consultations between the two countries' foreign ministries, both sides agreed to actively promote exchanges at all levels, accelerate efforts to resume direct flights, facilitate personnel exchanges, and support the reciprocal posting of journalists.

　　Lin Minwang, deputy director of the Center for South Asian Studies at Fudan University in Shanghai, said that as key members of the Global South, China and India share the responsibility of safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries, and their coordination in multilateral mechanisms helps contribute to stability in a world that is facing increasing turbulence and uncertainty.

　　India has pledged full support for China's role as the rotating chair of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization this year and committed to actively participating in various SCO activities hosted by Beijing.
