Wang Yi gave the assurance when he visited Tibet. His trip came against the backdrop of China-India border clash in the Galwan Valley in June, according to a newspaper report quoting Tibet Daily. 

The Chinese Foreign Minister was reported to have met Wu Yingjie, Tibet's Party secretary, and Qizhala, chairman of Tibet regional government besides other local officials. 

Wang said that the security and stability of the region is important to the overall development of China. 

He mentioned the current international situation and China's diplomatic work saying that Tibet has made great achievements regarding economic development, stabilizing and developing border areas, joining external cooperation and participating in projects under the Belt and Road initiative. 

Wang also visited the border area to learn about the situation of poverty alleviation, infrastructure building and the construction of villages. 

The Foreign Minister has been conducting special research trips to several Chinese regions from time to time. In February 2019, he had visited the China-Myanmar border in Southwest China's Yunnan province while in August 2019, he undertook a visit of Southwest China's Chongqing municipality to review the progress on Belt and Road Initiative.
