Video: Tibetan activists protest as Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi arrives in India
Tibetans protest Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi's India visit
As China's foreign minister Wang Yi arrived in India on a four-day visit in the early morning hours on Friday, Tibetan activists put massive banner on the flyover outside the T3 international airport in New Delhi asking China to leave Tibet.
The convoy of the Chinese foreign minister passed through the same route where the banners were put. Wang Yi arrived in India at 1:30 am(IST).
Wang Yi will be meeting external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj today and will inaugurate the first India-China high-level media forum.
On Thursday, China in a statement had said it "resolutely opposes" President Trump's decision to sign the Reciprocal Access to Tibet Act. The act allows access to Tibet for US diplomats and other officials, journalists and other citizens by denying US entry for Chinese officials deemed responsible for restricting access to Tibet.
China had annexed Tibet in 1950 leading spiritual leader the Dalai Lama to flee to Dharamsala in India in 1959. In July, the Dalai Lama celebrated his 83rd birthday in Ladakh on the outskirts of Leh. Reports at the time said Chinese authorities had placed restrictions on celebrations of Lama's birthday inside Tibet.
Tibetans in Kardze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture were warned against celebration by Beijing, local news reports said even as three people were detained for carrying out activities related to the birthday celebration.

The Chinese foreign minister's visit comes with both government determined to push cultural and people-to-people exchange between the two countries. The decision to establish a "special mechanism" was taken during the "informal" summit between PM Modi and Chinese President Xi in Wuhan.
Wang Yi will also visit Aurangabad and Mumbai and sign MoU's with the Indian government during his visit. The Chinese foreign minister's visit is being seen as a step forward in India-China relations post-Doklam after PM Modi and President Xi reaffirmed their commitment to cement ties several times this year during their meetings.
