An initial dialogue among foreign ministers is planned for Monday evening, while Wang and Doval will conduct the 24th round of Special Representatives meetings regarding the boundary issue on Tuesday morning.
Wang’s meeting with Modi is expected at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, during which he will provide a briefing on the SCO summit agenda and share updates on the progress in Sino-Indian relations. Additionally, Wang and Jaishankar aim to finalize discussions on the agenda for the upcoming Modi-Xi bilateral meeting.
There is also anticipation for an announcement regarding the resumption of direct flights between India and China, enhancing connectivity between the two nations.
