NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit China in May, the foreign minister said Sunday during
her own three-day visit to Beijing.
“Mr. Modi is going to come in May. I will give them dates today. This is a preparatory visit,” Sushma Swaraj told Indian reporters in Beijing, according to the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency.
Swaraj is holding three-way talks with her Chinese and Russian counterparts during the trip, her first official visit since she took office last year.
US president Barack Obama last week paid a high-profile visit to India aimed at bolstering ties between the two countries, which share an interest in curbing China’s growing regional influence. — AFP
