Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to visit India after a seven-year hiatus, with plans to attend the Brics summit in India from September 12-13. The visit comes after two years of cautious thaw between the two countries, as President Xi and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi are expected to meet at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan next week.
While the full agenda has not been officially confirmed, sources suggest that the border dispute between the two nations will be a key topic of discussion. Both sides have agreed to establish expert groups on boundary delimitation and border management, and to add senior military commanders and border defence hotlines. The Indian side has also expressed hope for progress on trade, investment, and people-to-people ties, including visa arrangements.
