  "account": "Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to participate in the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi, occurring from September 12 to 13, according to a statement from Beijing. This marks Xi's first visit to India in seven years, as relations between the two Asian nations have been gradually improving following a border clash in 2020 that resulted in 20 Indian deaths and four Chinese casualties. The two countries have been working to restore flights, visas, and high-level contacts. Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India invited President Xi Jinping to the summit, which Modi visited China in August of the previous year, signaling a cautious thaw in relations. Despite this progress, significant issues persist, including deep mistrust stemming from their disputed frontier, a widening trade deficit, and strategic rivalry. Both nations frequently accuse each other of attempting to claim territory along their unofficial high-altitude border. Xi's last visit to India was in October 2019, where he met with Modi.",
  "summary": "This will be Xi Jinping's first visit to India in seven years, as both countries have been warming ties since a deadly 2020 border clash.",
