Premier Li will call on Vice President, Mohammad Hamid Ansari and Congress president Sonia Gandhi, the president of India's ruling Congress party.

On Tuesday Mr. Li will address a meeting hosted by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry and the Indian Council of World Affairs, before calling on President Pranab Mukherjee.

The Chinese delegation, including Premier Li, will then travel to Mumbai to visit the headquarters of Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. The Chinese leader will also meet relatives of Dwarkanath Kotnis, an Indian doctor who treated Chinese soldiers during the Sino-Japan War of 1938.

He will also visit the three chambers of commerce in the city, India's financial capital. On Wednesday Premier Li will leave India for Pakistan, before moving on to Germany and Switzerland.
