China's Wang Yi to Visit India for Border Talks
China's top diplomat, Wang Yi, is going to India to talk about the border between the two countries.
This is a big deal because they haven't had many talks like this since a fight in 2020.
They also might start trading with each other again across the border.
These two countries are big and important, and they sometimes compete.
But now they are trying to get along better because of what's happening with other countries and trade.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit India August 18-20.
The visit is for discussions on the disputed border issue.
This is the second such meeting since the 2020 border clash.
Talks include the potential resumption of border trade.
India and China are major economic powers in competition, but seeking to mend ties.
