External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Thursday held bilateral
meetings with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang on the sidelines of the
G20 Foreign Ministers' meet.
The meeting between the two was focused on issues related to border areas.
"Met
Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang on the sidelines of #G20FMM this
afternoon. Our discussions were focused on addressing current challenges
to the bilateral relationship, especially peace and tranquillity in the
border areas," the Minister tweeted.
It was the first meeting between Jaishankar and Qin after the latter became the Chinese foreign minister in December.
The
talks came nearly eight months after Jaishankar held a meeting with the
then Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi in Bali on the sidelines of a G20
meeting.
The meeting gained significance in view of continuing
US-China tensions and the military standoff between the two sides in the
Ladakh sector of the Line of Actual Control.
Following the June
2020 clash at Galwan Valley, the relations between the two countries
have been the most tense in the past many years.
Earlier on
Thursday, Jaishankar also met his US counterpart Antony Blinken, wherein
the two held discussions on bilateral ties and pressing global issues
including the Ukraine conflict.
Earlier, on February 22, the 26th
meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation & Coordination on
India-China Border Affairs (WMCC) was held in person in Beijing.
As
per the External Affairs Ministry, the two sides reviewed the situation
along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Western Sector of the
India-China border areas and discussed proposals for disengagement in
the remaining areas in an open and constructive manner, which would help
in restoration of peace and tranquillity along the LAC in Western
Sector and create conditions for restoration of normalcy in bilateral
relations.
