New Delhi:
Foreign Minister S Jaishankar and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi met today for delegation-level talks in Delhi, in the highest level of engagement between the two countries since a deadly border clash in 2020 soured ties. Wang Yi arrived last night in an unannounced visit.
Wang Yi first met with National Security Adviser Ajit Doval. They discussed the border row and the geopolitical implications of the Ukraine war, according to news agency PTI. This is the first high-profile Chinese visit to India since the border clashes in Ladakh.
In the meeting between Mr Doval and Wang, both sides spoke about the need for early and complete disengagement in disputed areas and remove impediments to allow bilateral relationship to take its natural course.
