China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi will be traveling to the Maldives on an official visit next month.
The minister will be arriving in the Maldives on January 7, at the invitation of Maldives Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid, who extended the invitation during his visit to China last November. Shahid traveled to China in the capacity of the President of the 76th United Nations General Assembly.
Minister Yi will call on President Ibrahim Mohamed Soliih during the visit.
The Maldives and China established diplomatic ties almost 50 years ago. Minister Yi will also participate in a function held to mark the occasion.
