Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is in India for his first visit in over three years. He is visiting in his capacity as Special Representative (SR) on the boundary talks and is reciprocating the visit made to Beijing by Indian SR and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval in December 2024. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also headed to China at the end of the month for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin. It will also be his first visit since 2018 and the first since tensions erupted on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) between the two countries in the summer of 2020, leading to fatalities on both sides.
