Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi arrived in New Delhi on Monday on a two-day visit and held a bilateral meeting with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.

Wang Yi, who is also a Member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China, arrived in India for a visit at the invitation of National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.

External Affairs Minister spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said there will be important engagements of the India-China Special Representatives and on bilateral relations during the visit of the Chinese Foreign Minister.

"Welcome to FM Mr. Wang Yi of China as he arrives in New Delhi on an official visit. Important engagements of the India-China Special Representatives and on bilateral relations over the next two days," he said in a post on X.

China on Monday said it is willing to use Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to India and the upcoming 24th round of talks between the Special Representatives on the Boundary Question as an opportunity to strengthen relations with New Delhi.

"China is willing to take the opportunity of the visit to India to work together with the Indian side in implementing the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, maintain the momentum of high-level exchanges, enhance political mutual trust, strengthen practical cooperation, properly manage differences, and promote the sustained, healthy, and stable development of China-India relations," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said when asked about China's expectations regarding Wang Yi's visit.

Wang's visit comes ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's expected visit to China to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin from August 31 to September 1.

Actions speak louder than words. China keeps saying they want good relations but continues its aggressive posturing at LAC. Let's see if this visit brings any concrete outcomes or just more diplomatic jargon.

Good to see dialogue continuing despite differences. As two ancient civilizations, India and China should find ways to cooperate economically while managing border disputes maturely. The world needs this relationship to stabilize.

Interesting timing before PM Modi's SCO visit. Hope our foreign ministry has done proper homework - China always comes with prepared strategies. We need equal preparation to protect our interests.

The Chinese FM's visit is welcome but we must remember trust takes years to build and seconds to break. After what happened in 2020, India should proceed with caution and clear red lines.

Hope they discuss increasing Chinese investments in India too. Our manufacturing sector could benefit from technology transfers, but with proper safeguards against dumping of cheap goods.

While diplomacy is important, I wish our media would stop giving so much coverage to Chinese officials. We should maintain dignity and not appear too eager after their aggressive actions.
