Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated that during the COVID-19 pandemic, China felt blamed and stigmatized by the international community, which hardened its attitude towards the world and led to strict lockdowns. Speaking at the Iqwat Global Business Conclave on October 31, 2026, he also recalled challenges during his ambassadorship in China amid the 2020 Galwan Valley clash, where both Indian and Chinese soldiers lost lives for the first time in nearly 50 years along the Line of Actual Control.
