A month into the border standoff between India and China at the tri-junction with Bhutan, Pakistan's envoy Abdul Basit is learnt to have met the Chinese and Bhutanese envoys in New Delhi this week, according to Indian media.
The meeting between Basit, who is likely to leave for Islamabad soon, and Chinese ambassador Luo Zhaohui took place Wednesday, Indian Express claimed quoting sources. The meeting was at the request of Basit. A day later, on Thursday, the Pakistan High Commissioner met Bhutan's ambassador Major General Vetsop Namgyel. This meeting too was at Basit's request, the report said. While all three are tight-lipped on the meetings, one of them told The Indian Express "What is the issue? Diplomats meet routinely." Asked if the Doklam issue was discussed at the meeting, he said, "We discuss all issues."
