There is an upward trend in India-China relations and Beijing has promised to address New Delhi's needs on rare earths, a top Indian official and a source said yesterday, as the neighbours rebuild ties that were damaged by a 2020 border clash.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is visiting India for the 24th round of border talks with Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and was also due to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday, days before Mr Modi travels to China for the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.
