In response media inquiry over Shri Vikram K. Doraiswami's appointment as the next Ambassador of India to China, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian said on Friday that "I have noticed that the ambassador has chosen a Chinese name for himself: Wei Jiameng (魏嘉盟). China welcomes India's new ambassador to China Wei Jiameng, and stands ready to provide every convenience for him to take up his post in China."

Envoys are important bridges for fostering friendly and cooperative relations between nations, Lin said, "We hope that after assuming his duties, he will make positive contributions to advancing the sustained improvement and development of China-India relations."
