PM Modi, Xi Jinping to meet in India after 7 years: Arunachal border, mega dam, bilateral ties on agenda
While both India and China have taken several steps towards ties normalisation in recent years, differences remain on a range of issues.
Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to meet with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi this Saturday, marking their third face-to-face meeting in as many years. The summit will occur just seven years after Xi's last visit to India in October 2019, a time when tensions were at their peak following a military standoff in Ladakh.
The meeting will be held during Xi's attendance at the 18th BRICS Leaders’ Summit in New Delhi, where he is participating at the invitation of Modi. The agenda for Modi and Xi's meeting will focus on consolidating efforts to normalize bilateral ties, as well as addressing the long-standing boundary dispute between the two nations.
While both sides have made significant progress in recent years, including resuming direct flights, reviving the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, and restarting border trade, differences remain on various issues that will likely be discussed during the meeting.
