Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong is expected to visit India this week for a two-day trip, marking the second high-level bilateral engagement this year. The visit follows the easing of military tensions in eastern Ladakh and efforts to normalize ties, including agreements made during Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri’s January visit to Beijing. Sun is likely to meet NSA Ajit Doval and discuss issues such as the resumption of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, trade concerns, and pending direct air services. The visit also signals a positive shift in ties and may pave the way for PM Modi's potential visit to China in September.
