Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that he held “extensive and fruitful talks” with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the second and last day of the informal summit here on Saturday.
“There is no set agenda for talks. It will happen in a very informal setting, friendly setting,” the envoy said, while adding that there won’t be any exchanging of MoUs and release of any joint statement.
Statement from Sitharaman came ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to China in June. Reportedly, the Prime Minister will visit Qingdao in China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit on June 9-10.
The Ministry of External Affairs asserted that there are no new developments at Doklam and its vicinity and that reports to the contrary were incorrect.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has left for China to attend the ninth BRICS Summit in Xiamen.
India and China have agreed to end their over two-month-long stand-off in the Doklam Plateau by reaching an understanding not to let their long standing differences become disputes.
“There will be a solution soon and I am sure China will make a positive move,” he said.
The Indian and Chinese border troops are in a more than two-week-old standoff at Doklam located at the narrow but strategically important tri-junction of India, China and Bhutan.
China has released a map to back its claim that Indian troops “transgressed” into the Doklam area of the Sikkim sector, which it claims as part of its territory.
