Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit India on the 25th. A person familiar with the situation revealed. Since the deadly clash at the border in 2020, the foreign minister has the highest status as a key figure in China to visit India.
Foreign Minister Wang will meet with India’s Foreign Minister Camilo Doval, National Security Adviser, according to the person. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the conflict at the Sino-Indian border are expected to be discussed, and the two countries have been searching for a solution to the conflict for several months, officials said.
The Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not so far responded to a request for confirmation of the visit to Foreign Minister Wang. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on the 23rd that “there is no information available at this time” regarding the possibility of a foreign minister’s visit to India.
India and China are in the same position regarding Russia, including calling for peace and abstaining from a UN resolution calling on President Putin to withdraw from Ukraine.
