China has supported India as the host of the upcoming G20 Summit in New Delhi, despite Chinese President Xi Jinping's decision not to attend. Premier Li Qiang will represent China at the summit, scheduled for September 9 and 10. Addressing concerns about the choice, China's foreign ministry emphasized on overall stability of China-India relations, with ongoing dialogue and communication at multiple levels. This statement comes against the backdrop of recent tensions, including China's issuance of a new map that included Indian territories. India dismissed the new map with strong words from the External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.
