Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi, who is on an unannounced visit to India, held talks with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval in New Delhi on Friday (25 March).
Ahead of the talks, Jaishankar tweeted, 'Greeted Chinese FM Wang Yi at Hyderabad House. Our discussions commence shortly.'
It was the first public comment by India on Wang's visit.
The two leaders reportedly held talks on wide-ranging issues.
Wang arrived in Delhi on Thursday evening in the first highest-level visit between India and China after their ties came under severe strain following the border standoff in eastern Ladakh nearly two years ago.
Earlier in the day, the Chinese Foreign Minister held talks with NSA Doval.
Wang and Doval are said to have held talks focusing on the eastern Ladakh row and the geopolitical implications of the crisis in Ukraine.
The Chinese FM's visit comes a day after India rejected as uncalled for Wang's comments referring to Jammu and Kashmir at a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Islamabad.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
