New Delhi, March 24 : Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is to visit India to hold talks with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, according to reports. The visit comes a day after India slammed the Chinese Foreign Minister for his remarks on Jammu and Kashmir at the Organisation of Islamic Conference meet in Islamabad. The Ministry of External Affairs is tightlipped on Wang Yi’s visit. The visit comes even as India has said that relations with Beijing are dependant on peace and tranquility at the border. PM Modi made these remarks during the summit with Australian PM Scott Morrison on Monday. EAM Jaishankar has also said that India’s relationship with China are going through a “very difficult phase” after Beijing violated agreements not to bring the military forces on the border, and that the “state of the border will determine the state of the relationship”. The Chinese Foreign Minister earlier today made a pit stop at Kabul and met with the Taliban leadership to strengthen bilateral ties. He is flying to Nepal tomorrow for a two-day scheduled visit. RN
