India-China Strategic Dialogue



India-China Strategic Dialogue

The sixth round of the India-China Strategic Dialogue will be held in Beijing on April 13. India’s Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh will hold talks with the Chinese Vice-Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin. During her visit, she will also meet on Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

The two sides review the entire range of bilateral relations, including plans for leadership-level visits. The talks are expected to focus on the imbalance in the India-China trade and touch upon common regional challenges such as the drawdown of NATO troops from Afghanistan later this year.

However, major diplomatic initiatives are expected to be announced after the new government takes charge in India after the elections.
