During the conversation, Wang referred to the conversation with Foreign Minister Jaishankar in March.
India's common interests are far more important than differences: Wang
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Rawat, "Shared interests with India are more important than our differences."

China's biggest security concern for India-Australia: Marles
Australia's Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Richard Marles said China is busy capturing neighboring borders with the help of aggression. Be it the situation on the LAC in Eastern Ladakh two years ago or the maneuvering of the South China Sea. China is following the strategy of creating fear and grabbing the ground by showing its power by ignoring the rules. Marles is on a four-day visit to India. Marles said China is the "biggest security concern" for Australia and India as it seeks to build a world around us like never before.
In the past few years, we have particularly felt China's more aggressive behavior in this regard. China is its biggest trading partner not only for Australia but also for India. At the same time, it is the biggest security concern for us and India as well. Australia stands in solidarity with China over the ongoing border dispute with China in eastern Ladakh.
Will expand defense ties with India
Marles said India and Australia are working closely on bilateral relations not only in the economic sector but also in the defense sector so that the defense and security position of both countries can be strengthened. New Delhi and Canberra remain committed to expanding their defense and security ties.
The growing friendship between China and Russia is also a matter of concern: Marles said, the increasing defense and security cooperation between China and Russia is also a matter of concern. This friendship will have an impact on the region. In such a situation, maintaining peace in the world is most important.
