Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will arrive in New Delhi on 18 Aug for a three-day visit that includes meetings with India’s top leadership and the 24th round of boundary negotiations between the two countries. According to an Indian government advisory, Wang will meet External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Monday evening before holding border discussions with National Security Adviser Ajit Doval on Tuesday morning. Later that day, he is scheduled to call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the premier’s official residence at 17:30 local time—a meeting that did not take place during Wang’s previous trip to India. Wang’s engagement with Modi, rare for visiting foreign ministers, signals a potential thaw in relations that have been strained since deadly clashes along the Himalayan frontier in 2020. The talks are expected to focus on de-escalation along the Line of Actual Control and broader bilateral ties ahead of upcoming regional summits.
