NEW DELHI: Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri is set to travel to Beijing for a two-day diplomatic mission, marking a significant step in ongoing efforts to normalize relations between India and China. The visit, scheduled for January 26 and 27, follows last month's high-profile meeting between National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi under the framework of Special Representatives (SR) dialogue on the boundary dispute.

"Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri will be visiting Beijing on January 26 and 27 for a meeting of the Foreign Secretary-Vice Minister mechanism between India and China," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said.

"The resumption of this bilateral mechanism flows from the agreement at the leadership level to discuss the next steps for India-China relations, including in the political, economic, and people-to-people domains," it said in a brief statement.
