Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, on Wednesday, briefed the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs about the recent visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the United States and also on present foreign policy developments.
Indian foreign secretary Vikram Misri's Dhaka visit came at a critical moment in the history of India-Bangladesh relationship.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri arrived in Dhaka on Monday morning to discuss bilateral relations between India and Bangladesh, officials said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to hold wide ranging talks with US President Joe Biden on bilateral issues as well as global developments, including the conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia, when the two leaders meet on the margins of the Quad Summit in Delaware later this week.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri will pay an official visit to Bhutan from 19-20 July. This will be his first trip abroad after taking over as the Foreign Secretary earlier this month.
The Appointments Committee of Cabinet (ACC) approved his appointment which will take effect from July 15. He will succeed Vinay Kwatra.
Misri said both India and China agree that they should stick to the consensus between the top leaders of the two countries.
India's Ambassador at Beijing, Vikram Misri said on Tuesday, 'I think facilitation of our needs and our requirements in a timely manner, in a smooth manner, on a predictable timeline at prices that are stable and orderly, would be the best signal possible to send for the India-China relationship.'
The Indian Embassy in China said the Government of India would send a consignment of medical supplies on a relief flight later this week to support China to fight COVID-19.
''This is a concrete measure which will fully demonstrate the goodwill, solidarity and friendship of the people and the Government of India with the Chinese people,'' he said in a video posted on the official Twitter handle of the Indian Embassy in Beijing.
