<p>After a gap of 18 months, Chinese President Xi Jinping has appointed senior diplomat Xu Feihong as the new ambassador to India, a report said on Wednesday (May 8).&nbsp;</p>

<p>There is no official announcement yet at the time of filing this report, but the Chinese Foreign Ministry has confirmed to PTI news agency that Xu, a former ambassador to Afghanistan and Romania, has been appointed as China's new envoy in India.</p>

<h2><strong>Who is Xu Feihong?</strong></h2>

<p>The 60-year-old Xu Feihong was serving as assistant minister for financial and administrative affairs in the foreign ministry.</p>

<p>In 37 years as a Chinese diplomat, Xu’s only job in South Asia was as ambassador to Afghanistan from 2010 to 2013. He also served as envoy to Romania from 2015 to 2018.</p>

<p>Apart from these, most of Xu’s postings have been in the Western world, from Finland to Australia, with a specialisation in Europe.</p>

<p>He will succeed veteran Chinese diplomat Sun Weidong who completed his term in India in October 2022.</p>

<p>Sun Weidong left his post in October 2022, after a tumultuous three years that saw relations between the two neighbours plunge following border clashes in eastern Ladakh.</p>

<p>In April-May 2020, India and China, were locked in a military standoff in the western part of the border.</p>

<p>Tensions flared as Chinese forces advanced past their usual positions on the Line of Actual Control. This resulted in clashes between Chinese troops and Indian Army patrols.</p>

<p>The most serious incident was reported on 15 June, 2020 in the Galwan Valley, where a brutal hand-to-hand fight resulted in casualties on both sides.</p>

<p>India confirmed the loss of 20 soldiers, while China acknowledged at least four fatalities.</p>
