Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu arrived in China on Wednesday after completing his talks in Malaysia.

Ihsanoglu is set begin his formal talks with Chinese officials on Thursday. He is expected to meet with Chinese Parliament Speaker Wu Bangguo and Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi.

The OIC chief is scheduled to have talks over deadly riots last year in June in Urumchi that killed over 150 people and injured 1,000 others.

Ihsanoglu will also visit Xinchuan, Urumchi and Kashgar regions.
