Beijing, Moscow and New Delhi should seek further high-level cooperation on international issues of common concern, such as counterterrorism and postwar Afghanistan, experts said ahead of Sunday night's three-party foreign ministers' meeting.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi arrived in New Delhi early on Sunday, joining his Indian and Russian counterparts Salman Khurshid and Sergey Lavrov for the 12th meeting of foreign ministers from the three countries.

In addition to meeting separately with Khurshid and Lavrov, Wang was also scheduled to attend the 11th Asia-Europe meeting of foreign ministers, which convenes on Monday.
