China confirms Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit at end of month
two countries' border dispute with Indian national security adviser Ajit Doval on Tuesday, came in the wake of a series of reports in Indian media that the visit would go ahead.
It will be Modi's first trip to China in seven years and raises expectations he will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the event.
The SCO, a largely Eurasian security bloc that China chairs this year, will meet in the northern city of Tianjin between August 31 and September 1. Russian President Vladimir Putin had already confirmed he would attend.
Wang's trip to India marked another milestone in ties between the two countries, which sharply deteriorated after a deadly border clash in 2020. The two countries are now seeing their relationship improve amid ongoing trade tensions with the United States.
Wang said relations were on a steady course, with the border situation continuing to 'stabilise and improve'.
