Chinese FM Wang Yi to visit India from Aug 18-19, will meet Jaishankar and NSA Doval

During his one-day visit, Yi will meet NSA Doval to hold the 24th round of the Special Representatives’ (SR) Talks on the India-China boundary question

The Ministry of External Affairs on Saturday confirmed Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s visit to India. He will be on an official trip to New Delhi from August 18-19 at the invitation of National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.

Yi’s visit to India comes at a time when India and China have been taking a series of steps in recent months to improve bilateral relations.

China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also announced Yi’s trip to India. Chinese Ambassador to India Xu Feihong said, “From August 18 to 20, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Minister of Foreign Affairs and China’s Special Representative on the China-India boundary question Wang Yi will visit India.”

What will Wang Yi do in India?

During his one-day visit, Yi will meet NSA Doval to hold the 24th round of the Special Representatives’ (SR) Talks on the India-China boundary question.

The Chinese foreign minister is also slated to meet External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar during his visit.

India-China relations

Relations between the two Asian giants have been thawing since an agreement last October on patrolling their Himalayan border, easing a five-year standoff that had hurt trade, investment and air travel.

Earlier this year,  China resumed the Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra and India resumed giving visas to Chinese tourists. The two sides are also likely to  resume direct flights within weeks.

Later this month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit China to attend the SCO Summit, his first visit since 2020, when India-China relations sharply deteriorated following Chinese incursions in the Himalayas, including the deadly Galwan Valley clash that left 20 Indian soldiers dead.
