China's Xi Jinping to visit India with 400-member delegation for Brics: Report

Chinese President Xi Jinping is reportedly planning a visit to India next month for the BRICS summit in New Delhi, alongside a delegation of over 400 officials. This marks his first trip to India in seven years and is more than double the number of Chinese officials who accompanied him during his last visit in 2019. The visit is being seen as an effort to stabilize ties between the two countries, which have been strained since the 2020 Galwan Valley clash.

Chinese officials are reportedly finalizing details of the trip, including travel arrangements and potential bilateral meetings with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. India and China have been working to improve relations through high-level talks, with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval recently meeting with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng to discuss border peace and bilateral ties.

The visit comes as both countries navigate complex economic, political, and multilateral challenges.
