The external affairs ministry on Monday said foreign secretary Vikram Misri will be visiting Beijing for attending a meeting under the foreign secretary-vice minister mechanism which is held between India and China.

“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," the ministry said in a statement.

Misri will be in Beijing for a two-day visit starting January 26 and lasting until January 27.

Sources speaking to News18 said that earlier Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on Border Affairs (WMCC) were led by Joint Secretary-rank officers.

They also indicated that the agenda includes key topics such as the reopening of the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage route and the resumption of flights between the two nations.
