BEIJING: Chinese Vice President Liu Yuanchao will visit India next week during which he will hold talks with the top Indian leadership to inject new momentum in bilateral ties that have seen “sound and stable” development, it was announced today.
Li’s five-day visit from November 3 is aimed at strengthening the strategic partnership of cooperation between the two countries, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang told a media briefing here.
