Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi embarks on crucial India visit amid US Tariff squeeze

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi begins a three-day visit to India on August 18, where he will hold bilateral talks with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, engage in boundary discussions with NSA Ajit Doval, and meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The visit comes at a time when US President Donald Trump’s steep tariffs have strained India-US relations, creating space for closer engagement between New Delhi and Beijing ahead of Modi’s planned visit to China for the SCO Summit.
