Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit India next week to attend the 16th meeting of BRICS National Security Advisors and High Representatives on National Security, marking his another trip to the country in less than a year amid continuing efforts by New Delhi and Beijing to stabilise bilateral ties.Beijing announced on Thursday that Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China and Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, would attend the meeting in India from June 22 to 23 at the invitation of National Security Adviser Ajit Doval.Sources indicated that Wang is likely to hold bilateral meetings with Doval and Jaishankar during his stay in New Delhi, although no official schedule has been announced.The high-level gathering is expected to bring together national security representatives from BRICS member countries to discuss strategic and security-related issues facing the grouping.Wang last travelled to New Delhi in August 2025, when he held talks with Doval and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. Both sides had then underlined the importance of maintaining peace and tranquillity in the border areas and agreed that differences should not be allowed to turn into disputes.Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping have met twice since late 2024 — first on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in Kazan in October 2024 and later during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit in Tianjin in August 2025, reflecting efforts by the two Asian neighbours to place their relationship on a more stable footing.
