Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh today arrived to take part in the sixth India-China Strategic Dialogue next week during which the two nations will review the status of bilateral relations and explore new initiatives to improve ties.
Singh will co-chair - along with her counterpart Vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin - the annual dialogue to be held on April 14.
The two sides will review the entire range of bilateral relations, including plans for leadership-level visits in the second half of this Year of India-China Friendly Exchanges, India's External Affairs Ministry said ahead of her visit.
She would also call on Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi after the talks during her two-day visit.
