Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit India on June 22-23 [1] to attend the 16th BRICS National Security Advisors meeting [2].

The visit marks a significant diplomatic engagement between the two nations, as the meeting serves as a high-level forum for the BRICS bloc to coordinate security strategies.

Wang Yi is traveling to New Delhi following an invitation from India's National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval [1]. The gathering represents the 16th iteration of the BRICS National Security Advisors meeting [2]. Ajit Doval is also expected to travel to China on a reciprocal invitation, reports said [1].

This scheduled trip is the first time the Chinese Foreign Minister has returned to India since August 2025 [3]. The timing of the visit follows previous diplomatic tensions and questions regarding Chinese representation at prior summits. Specifically, some reports said that Wang Yi had stayed away from Delhi during a previous BRICS Foreign Ministers' meeting [2].

Diplomatic signals regarding the relationship have appeared cautious but open. Fu Xeihong, the Chinese Ambassador to India, said in May that China was "Ready to support India..." [1].

The meeting in New Delhi will focus on the shared security interests of the BRICS member states. The reciprocal nature of the invitations between Wang Yi and Ajit Doval suggests a mutual effort to maintain communication channels between the two Asian powers.

“Wang Yi will visit India on June 22-23 to attend the 16th BRICS National Security Advisors meeting.”

The reciprocal visits between Wang Yi and Ajit Doval indicate a strategic attempt to stabilize relations between New Delhi and Beijing. By utilizing the multilateral framework of the BRICS National Security Advisors meeting, both countries can engage in high-level security dialogues while managing bilateral frictions that have historically complicated their diplomatic ties.
