Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi Meets NSA Ajit Doval, Set To Meet EAM

New Delhi, March 25: Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who arrived in the Indian capital last evening, is meeting with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval in South Block, after which he will meet External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. It is the first visit by a senior Chinese minister to New Delhi since the Galwan clash two years ago. Wang flew down from the Afghan capital in an Airbus at around 8 pm.

Indian officials have been tightlipped about the Chinese Minister’s visit. After the two meetings, he leaves for Nepal in the late afternoon for a two-day visit. His visit comes two days after India slammed the Chinese Foreign Minister for his remarks on Jammu and Kashmir at the Organisation of Islamic Conference meet in Islamabad. India has said that relations with Beijing are dependant on peace and tranquility at the border, and the “state of the border will determine the state of the relationship”. UNI
