The Chinese Foreign Minister arrived in Delhi last evening. This is the first visit by a senior Chinese minister and the highest-level talks between India and China since the military standoff in Ladakh began two years ago.

Wang Yi reached Mr Doval's office for talks at around 10 am and discussions were held in a cordial atmosphere, sources told NDTV. Some of the key points that were discussed included the need to take forward early and complete disengagement in remaining areas in Ladakh and remove impediments to allow the bilateral relationship to take its natural course.

The boundary issue figured prominently in the meeting between Mr Wang and Mr Doval as they have been serving as the Special Representatives for boundary talks between the two countries.
