PM Modi & Chinese President Xi Jinping meet for first formal talks in five years as ties recover from 2020 military clash
Xi Jinping held their first formal talks in five years on Wednesday, signalling that ties between the Asian giants damaged by a deadly military clash in 2020 had begun to recover.
The two leaders met on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in the Russian city of Kazan, the Indian government and Chinese state media said, two days after New Delhi announced that it had reached a deal with Beijing to resolve the four-year military stand-off on their disputed Himalayan frontier.
Relations between the world's two most populous nations — both nuclear powers — have been strained since a clash between their troops on the largely undemarcated frontier in the western Himalayas of Ladakh left 20 Indian and four Chinese soldiers dead in 2020.
The neighbours increased their military presence along the icy frontier since, adding tens of thousands of troops and weapons over the last four years.
Modi and Xi had not held formal bilateral talks since although they both participated in multilateral events. Their last summit talks were held in Oct. 2019 in the southern Indian town of Mamallapuram.
