India, current chair of the BRICS group, is hosting a meeting of the BRICS national security advisers in New Delhi on Monday and Tuesday.
Relations between India and China improved in 2024, ending years of friction that began with a deadly border clash in the Himalayas in 2020.
"We must respect each other's core interests, properly handle sensitive issues," Wang said in a Chinese foreign ministry readout.
Wang called for resumption of bilateral dialogue mechanisms and promoting exchanges in trade, finance, law enforcement and media.
Wang also said the BRICS mechanism should actively advocate the promotion of the multipolarisation process.
BRICS brings together its founders Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa as well as other countries.
