The Chinese Foreign Affairs Minister, Wang Yi, visited India from the 12-14 August, 2016. Wang called on Prime Minister Modi and held talks with his counterpart, Sushma Swaraj, on Saturday 13th.

In particular,  India’s membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) was discussed, among other regional and bilateral issues, such as the annual BRICS Summit to be held in Goa in October of this year. China is currently the only country among the NSG’s 48 members not to support India’s membership on the grounds that it is not signatory to the NPT (Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons).
