China, India to maintain border peace |
China, India agree to maintain border peace as PM Modi wraps up informal summit. Indian Prime Minister invited Xi to India for a similar "informal summit" in 2019, to which the Chinese premier expressed hope that they will be able to meet in similar formats. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi returned to New Delhi on April 28 after wrapping up his two-day informal summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the central Chinese city of Wuhan. PM Modi had arrived in China for the unprecedented informal summit with Xi. The prime minister held one-on-one talks with Xi to strengthen the relations between the two countries. This is being seen as an effort by India and China to rebuild trust and improve ties that were hit by the 73-day-long Dokalam standoff last year. PM Modi said, the e talks with President Xi Jinping focussed on diverse areas of India-China cooperation. They discussed ways to give impetus to our economic ties as well as people-to-people relations. A delegation-level talk was held where Modi was accompanied by top officials from both sides, including Gokhale and NSA Ajit Doval. Politburo member Yang Jiechi, Chinese State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Vice Foreign minister Kong Xuanyou were present on the Chinese side. The two sides then had dinner at the East Lake guest house.
