Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Saturday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and also discussed "issues of mutual importance" with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj here.

"A morning for neighbourly engagement," External Affairs Ministry Spokesman Vikas Swarup tweeted after Wang called on Modi.

He later met Sushma Swaraj, after which the Indian and Chinese sides went into delegation-level talks.

Wang on Friday met Goa Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar and reviewed the logistics and security arrangements for Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to the state in October for the BRICS summit.

Wang was among the first foreign ministers to be welcomed in India after the Modi government took office in May 2014.
