New Delhi [India], May 10 (HBTV): Newly-appointed Chinese Ambassador to India, Xu Feihong, who arrived in Delhi on Friday, said he was looking forward to working hard for the ties between the two nations.   

Xu expressed gratitude to the Ministry of External Affairs official who received him at the airport, Eritrea's Ambassador to India Alem Tsehaye Woldemariam, and officials from the Chinese Embassy for welcoming him upon arrival in Delhi.      

In a post on X, Xu Feihong stated that he was looking forward to working hard with all for the China-India relations. 

Xu Feihong is the 17th Chinese ambassador to India. The last Chinese ambassador to India was Sun Weidong, who left in October 2022 after serving three years in Delhi, and took over as China's deputy Foreign minister after his return.  

Sun Weidong left Delhi at a time when India and China were trying to manage ties via multiple channels, following the Ladakh border clash in 2020 that has remained the dominant issue between the two sides.

Since April 2020, India and China have had several rounds of diplomatic and military level meetings on the situation along the Line of Actual Control at the India-China border areas.
