India’s envoy in Beijing discusses bilateral ties with Chinese

India’s new envoy to China, Vikram Doraiswami, has held an introductory meeting with Director General of China’s Department of Boundary and Ocean Affairs Hou Yanqi, discussing developments concerning the border and bilateral relations.

“The two sides had a productive exchange of views on developments related to the India-China border areas and reviewed the positive momentum in bilateral relations,” the Embassy of India in Beijing said in a post on X on Thursday. “Both sides agreed to leverage established mechanisms to implement the vision of the two leaders towards a stable and mutually beneficial relationship,” it added.

Doraiswami, a 1992-batch Indian Foreign Service officer, took charge earlier this month and presented his credentials to the Chinese Foreign Ministry on May 8.
