Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will arrive in India on Monday on a three-day visit to participate in the 24th round of talks on the long-standing China-India boundary issue, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) announced on Saturday.
Wang Yi, who is also a Member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and China’s Special Representative on the boundary question, will hold discussions with Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, his counterpart in the Special Representatives’ mechanism.
According to the MFA statement, Wang will arrive in India at the invitation of the Indian side.
In a post on X, Chinese Ambassador to India, Xu Feihong, wrote, “MFA: 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 and hold the 24th Round of Talks Between the Special Representatives of China and India on the Boundary Question at the invitation of the Indian side.(sic)”
This marks a major development amid ongoing military and diplomatic talks between the two countries following the 2020 standoff in eastern Ladakh, which led to heightened tensions and a deterioration in bilateral ties.
