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.
The talks would be held between Special Representatives (SR) of the two countries. While National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval is the SR on the Indian side, Foreign Minister Wang Yi is China’s SR for the talks.
Jaishankar earlier on Monday said that India and China 'should not allow differences to hamper their bilateral relationship'.
In his remarks, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Beijing is closely following the escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan and urged New Delhi to maintain peace and stability.
Earlier on Wednesday, China’s Ambassador to Pakistan Yao Jing had said that Jammu and Kashmir was an 'internationally recognized disputed territory'.
Australia, notably angered Beijing when it banned Chinese tech giant Huawei from participating in its 5G network last August over security fears.
