 "Chinese Vice Foreign Minister to visit India amid improving ties post Ladakh disengagement")
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong is expected to visit India this week, marking the second high-level visit between the two countries this year, The Times of India reported.
His trip follows Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri’s visit to Beijing in January, where both sides agreed on steps to normalise ties.
Sun’s two-day visit, starting Thursday, reflects improving relations after the completion of troop disengagement in eastern Ladakh, ending nearly five years of military standoff. It also follows key developments, including a meeting between PM Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping in Russia last October, and the resumption of Special Representatives’ (SR) Talks on the border issue in December.
During his visit, Sun is expected to meet National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and hold talks under the foreign secretary–vice minister dialogue mechanism. Doval is also expected to host Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who is also China’s SR, for another round of border talks later this year.
This week’s meeting is expected to review the progress made since January, including China’s agreement to resume the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in the summer of 2025—a key Indian request.
