Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday lambasted External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar for "apprising" China President Xi Jinping about India-China ties and said that he "is running a full blown circus" aimed to "destroy" country's foreign policy.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met Chinese Vice President Han Zheng in Beijing on Monday and said that the resumption of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is widely appreciated in India. He extended India's support for China's Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) presidency.
Jaishankar expressed confidence that discussions during his visit will maintain that positive trajectory. He noted that the ties between two nations have been improving since the meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Kazan.
The PLA, as the armed wing of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), has proved particularly stubborn in yielding to Xi's uncompromising will and abandoning the chance for personal gain.
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday confirmed that the US reached a "deal" with China following intense trade negotiations in London and now stands subjected to approval by him and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
During Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit on Tuesday, Vietnam backed China's claim that "Taiwan is an inseparable part of Chinese territory" and opposed "any separatist activity" seeking Taiwan Independence, Taiwan News reported, citing Viet Nam News.
He asked the government whether the de-escalation, de-mobilisation and dismantling of infrastructure created by China on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) have been done to India's satisfaction levels.
Shariqul Alam, Press Secretary to the Chief Adviser, called the meeting between two leaders "most important and successful." He said that Yunus, during the meeting, highlighted Bangladesh's historical ties with China.
Bangladesh's Ambassador to China, Md Nazmul Islamabad, and Hainan province's Vice Governor received Yunus at Qionghai Bo'ao International Airport in Hainan.
