Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will attend a meeting of National Security Advisers of BRICS member states in India next week, marking his first visit to the country in almost a year.
The visit comes amid efforts by the two sides to normalise their relationship, which had reached a six-decade low due to a prolonged military stand-off on the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
Wang will visit India during June 22-23 for the BRICS meet at the invitation of NSA Ajit Doval, as part of preparations for the BRICS Summit to be hosted by India in September.
During the BRICS NSAs' meeting, the Chinese side will exchange views with other members of the bloc on the international security situation, major international and regional issues, and a joint response to conventional and non-conventional security challenges.
Wang is also expected to hold bilateral meetings with Doval and other BRICS leaders on the margins of next week's meeting, as both sides have taken a number of steps to normalise their ties and address their border dispute.
