External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday held talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Brazil. During the meet, the two leaders noted the progress in the recent disengagement in Ladakh and exchanged views on the next steps in bilateral ties.
Jaishankar said that the two leaders “noted the progress in the recent disengagement in border areas”. Jaishankar also said that India and China exchanged views on the next steps in the bilateral ties between the two countries and had a discussion on the global situation.
“On the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Rio, met CPC Politburo member and FM Wang Yi of China,” posted Jaishankar on X, who is in Rio De Janeiro for the G20 Summit along with Prime Minister Modi.
“It is very good to meet on the sidelines of G20. We saw each other recently on the sidelines of BRICS as well. Our contribution to both platforms was notable in shaping the outcomes but it was a reminder to us of the importance of our two countries in international politics,” Jaishankar told the Chinese Foreign Minister during the meeting.
“It was also an equally significant testimony of why our bilateral relations are more important. In Kazan, our leaders reached a consensus in taking the next steps in our relations bearing in mind the understanding of 21st October. I am glad to note that on the ground the implementation of that understanding has proceeded as planned. Our leaders have directed the Foreign Ministers and the special representatives should meet at an early date. Some progress, some discussions have happened in that direction,” he added.
