S Jaishankar meets Wang Yi, first after Galwan border clash

| @indiablooms | 25 Mar 2022, 12:17 pm

New Delhi:  Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held delegation level talks with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in Hyderabad House on Friday, the first meeting between the two leaders here ever since the border clashes took place between the soldiers of the neighbouring nations.

S Jaishankar tweeted: "Greeted Chinese FM Wang Yi at Hyderabad House. Our discussions commence shortly."

In a visit kept under tight wraps by officials from both sides, the Chinese FM arrived late last evening in the Indian capital from Kabul.

It is the first visit by a senior Chinese minister to New Delhi since the Galwan clash two years ago.

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 dependent on peace and tranquility at the border, and the "state of the border will determine the state of the relationship".

Meanwhile, the Tibetan Youth Congress has planned a protest in front of Hyderabad House over the visit of the Chinese Minister.

After his meetings in India, Wang Yi leaves for Nepal in the late afternoon for a two-day visit.
