The Security Council secretary will hold strategic security consultations with Chinese Foreign Minister and member of the Political Bureau of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee Wang Yi to discuss current problems of international and regional security, as well as a wide range of issues of bilateral cooperation," it said.

Apart from that, he will hold talks with Chinese Communist Party secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission overseeing national security and intelligence Cheng Wenqing.
