Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi today said the 73-day stand-off between India and China in Doklam ended after India withdrew its troops and asked New Delhi to "learn lessons" and prevent such incidents in future.

India and China on Monday ended their standoff in Doklam by withdrawing their troops from the area, just days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to China to attend the BRICS summit next week.

"The border face off caused by Indian trespassing has been settled," Wang told the media in Beijing, while answering a question from the Chinese media reports that India withdrew troops to provide a face saver for China after reaching a settlement.

"We hope that the Indian side will learn lessons from this incident and prevent similar things from happening again," he said, answering a question on media reports stating that India withdrew troops to provide a face saver for China after reaching a settlement.
