Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s visit to India will mark the first high-level visit by a Chinese leader to India after the Doklam face-off. The three countries Foreign Ministers will on Monday deliberate on a variety of significant global and regional issues in New Delhi. This includes ways to handle the threat of extremism, terrorism, at a high-level meeting of the trilateral alliance.
India is expected to push strongly for strengthening cooperation among the three countries to counter terrorism, especially from Pakistan based terror groups. Before the commencement of the trilateral talks, external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj will hold bilateral talks with China on a number of issues and also will hold a bilateral meeting with Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov.
The bilateral talks with China are going to be crucial as they involve talks on bilateral, regional and global issues of importance including efforts to prevent military face-offs like the Doklam.
China may raise concern about the proposed quadrilateral in the Indo- Pacific, involving India, Japan, the US and Australia. This issue may come in the matter with New Delhi. While Russia, is India’s time-tested friend, but it is also concerned about New Delhi’s closeness with the US, but India has reassured Russia that it will stand with Russia on issues of Crimea and the situation in Syria.
