A secret letter from Chinese President Xi Jinping to Indian President Droupadi Murmu, later relayed to PM Narendra Modi, has reportedly revived strained India–China relations. Sent in March 2025, during escalating U.S. tariffs under Donald Trump, Xi’s message urged reconciliation, warning against closer India–U.S. alignments that might isolate Beijing. India responded cautiously by June, paving the way for restored direct flights, easing of trade curbs, and planned high-level talks at the SCO Summit. The move signals Beijing’s strategic shift to counter U.S. economic pressure while opening a new chapter in India–China engagement after years of border tensions. (PC: NDTV)
