Beijing: China's Foreign Minister Qin Gang, who has been absent from public view for several months now, was removed from office on Tuesday.
The sudden move, approved by the top decision-making body of China’s rubber-stamp parliament, comes as mystery has swirled around the fate of Qin, who has not been seen in public for a month, reports CNN.
Qin, 57, a career diplomat and trusted aide of Chinese leader Xi Jinping, was appointed as the Foreign Minister of the country in December.
He had previously served as the envoy of the country in Washington.
The exact cause of his removal from the position is still not known.
Meanwhile, Wang Yi will replace Qin Gang as the Foreign Minister of the country.
Wang Yi had earlier served as the foreign minister of the nation from 2013 to 2022.
