"Wang Yi arrived on Thursday night and unlike other dignitaries of his stature, was forced to move through the normal arrival lounge at the Delhi airport rather than the Air Force station," wrote Maj Gen Harsha Kakar. "It is reported that Wang Yi's request for a meeting with the prime minister was denied. Wang invited both EAM and NSA to visit Beijing but both turned it down till resolution of the standoff." "Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has said that during his recent visit to India, he 'keenly felt' that both sides had agreed to adhere to the leaders' consensus that the two countries are not a threat to each other," TOI.
