Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to discuss key bilateral issues on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in New Delhi. The talks come amid continuing differences over the India-China boundary, particularly China’s claims concerning Arunachal Pradesh. Economic and trade-related concerns are also expected to feature prominently as both countries seek to stabilize ties. The meeting could provide an opportunity to strengthen dialogue following recent efforts to improve bilateral relations. However, territorial disputes, strategic mistrust and competing economic interests remain significant challenges. The outcome of the Modi-Xi engagement will be closely watched for indications of further progress in India-China relations. (PC: The Hindu)
