Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi to visit India from Monday, China's foreign ministry says
Wang Yi's visit aims to ease a five-year border standoff, advance boundary talks, and resume trade, with China pledging to restore key exports like fertilisers and rare earth minerals.
- From August 18 to 20, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is visiting India to hold the 24th Special Representatives talks with India's NSA Ajit Doval, meeting External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar and scheduled to call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
- After a leader-level reset in Kazan, the visit builds on prior disengagements and a patrol pact ending a four-year standoff along the nearly 3500-km Line of Actual Control.
- China pledged to address three Indian needs—fertilizers, rare earths, and tunnel-boring machines, and Mao Ning said, `China is willing to take the opportunity of Wang's visit to India to work together with the Indian side.`
- The visit comes shortly before the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend, and border exchanges have resumed with Indian pilgrims returning to Tibet.
- Despite progress, frontline forces remain in place with around 50,000 to 60,000 troops along the Line of Actual Control, and experts say settling the boundary requires leaders' consensus between Modi and Xi.
