External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar has met his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Astana, Kazakhstan.
This is the first high-level meeting after the formation of the Modi 3.0 government in New Delhi.
EAM Jaishankar and his Chinese counterpart were seen having a warm handshake as they chatted before posing for a picture together.

Since May 2020, both India and China have held 21 rounds of Corps Commander-level talks to resolve the standoff with the 22nd meeting due to be held soon.
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Astana, Kazakhstan was attended by Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi skipped the event and India was represented by EAM Jaishankar.
