Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold bilateral talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the BRICS summit on October 23, following a new agreement on patrolling arrangements along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in areas of eastern Ladakh, marking their first formal discussion in five years. PM Modi last met Xi Jinping in 2019 on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Kyrgyzstan’s Bishkek and discussed ways to further strengthen the bilateral relations.
