The letter was composed in March, at a time when Donald Trump was escalating the trade conflict with China. According to the Bloomberg source, Indian authorities only started working to enhance relations with China in June.

Last week, India and China committed to intensifying efforts to settle historical border disputes from the colonial period, the agency highlights. Additionally, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit China soon for the first time in seven years, where the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit is scheduled to take place from August 31 to September 1. Prior to that, from August 18 to 20, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi made his first visit to India in three years.
The alleviation of strains in India-China ties holds significant implications for the United States, which has aimed to balance the growing influence of Beijing on New Delhi over the past decades, Bloomberg reports. Trump altered this situation by implementing 50% tariffs on Indian products related to oil imports from Russia—a step that reportedly “shocked” the Modi administration, the article claims.
