A BJP delegation led by party General Secretary Arun Singh would visit China on August 24 for a party level interaction in that country.
The BJP delegation is understandably visiting China on the invitation of Communist party of China (CPC) and expected to visit some of the key cities in that country.
In 2014, a 14-member youth delegation of the BJP led by the then party National Secretary Siddharth Nath Singh, currently a Minister in Uttar Pradesh, toured China and interacted with CPC leaders besides holding extensive discussions at the party level.
This team was in China on a ten-day visit from October 26 to November 4 having an extensive visit of Chinese cities which included Hangzhou, Beijing and Chongquig. With the Modi Government firmly placed at the Centre, the Chinese are keen to build “afresh” party level “relationship” with the BJP and in the process “opening up a second route” of dialogue on the burning issues, sources said.
Another BJP delegation led by former Bhagat Singh Kosiyari had also paid visit to China on a study tour and met CPC members. CPC members have also been meeting BJP leaders including party President Amit Shah. In 2015, Shah met Wang Jiarui, Minister of the International Department of the Communist Party of China’s Central Committee at the BJP headquarters. Jiarui had then extended an invitation to Shah to visit China while the duo also discussed ways of encouraging people-to-people interaction between the two countries.
