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.
