External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar held a meeting with China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the sidelines of G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Johannesburg, Jaishankar.
Both ministers acknowledged that the prolongation of the current situation in the border areas is not in the interest of either side.
Significantly, the announcement came even as Wang was representing China at the BRICS NSAs (National Security Advisers) meeting in South Africa. He also held a meeting with India's NSA Ajit Doval on the sidelines.
According to the State Department, Blinken also discussed with his Chinese counterpart the recovery of the global GDP in light of inflation and supply chain disruptions.
Jaishankar met his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi Last night on the margins of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in the Tajik capital of Dushanbe.
A few clarifications, therefore, for those justifiably confused by these widely differing perceptions that have made their way into public discourse, are in order.
'If peace and tranquility on the border are not a given, then it cannot be that the rest of the relationship continues on the same basis,' he said.
Later, China’s foreign minister Wang Yi slammed the US for “reckless provocation of confrontation” after both sides ordered tit-for-tat closures of each other’s consulates, but called for “rational communication” between the two powers.
'The focus of the conversation between NSA Ajit Doval and Chinese FM Wang Yi was the full and enduring restoration of peace and tranquillity.'
No epidemic is invincible, and this one is no exception. With the great efforts of the Chinese people, the prevention and control of epidemic is heading in a positive direction, Yi said.
