The last fortnight saw India-China engagements at fairly high levels. The foreign minister interacted with her Chinese counterpart on the sidelines of the Russia-India-China summit. The defence minister was in China for five days and interacted at various levels with both the military and civilian hierarchy. The NSA interacted with his counterpart in Beijing as part of the nineteenth round of the Special Representative talks. A common agenda point in all three meetings was the issue of the Chinese veto on the UN attempt to ban the JeM leader as an international terrorist. The action by China was seen as a rebuke to the growing Indo-Chinese relationship. India was compelled to retaliate by granting a visa to the World Uyghur Congress leader who China dubs a terrorist.
