Indian, Chinese Foreign Ministers meet

Ahead of the Russia-India-China trilateral meeting, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj met her Chinese counterpart Wang Yi here on Monday.

Stating that the meeting imparted fresh momentum to the bilateral relationship, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said Sushma Swaraj and Wang "had a positive and forward looking meeting".

This is the first high-level visit from China after Indian and Chinese troops were in a tense face-off earlier this year in Doklam on the border.

Later, Sushma Swaraj, Wang and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will hold the Russia-India-China trilateral meeting.
