Beijing, Jan 5: National Security Advisor Ajit Doval’s visit to China from tomorrow for talks with top Chinese leaders has been put off in the wake of the attack by Pakistani militants on the key Air Force base in Pathankot.
The visit has been put off due to scheduling problems, Chinese Foreign Ministry official has said.
Indian officials said Doval’s visit will be rescheduled as he is preoccupied with the handling of the Pathankot incident.
Doval, who is also the Special Representative for Sino-India boundary talks, was due to arrive here tomorrow on a two-day visit during which he was scheduled to hold talks with his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi on key bilateral issues, including the border dispute.
He was also due to meet Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Wednesday.
Both Doval and Yang are Special Representatives for holding talks on the boundary issue. So far, the two countries held 18 rounds of border talks.
