China's Xi lands in Delhi for BRICS summit and talks with Modi
Xi’s first India visit in seven years comes as Beijing and New Delhi seek a cautious reset after the 2020 border clash.
- On Saturday, Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in New Delhi for the 18th BRICS Summit, marking his first visit to India in seven years as the two nations seek to steady ties.
- Tensions persist along the roughly 3,500-kilometre border, where both nations retain heavy military deployments six years after a deadly 2020 clash that killed at least 20 Indian soldiers and four Chinese.
- India faces a record $112 billion trade deficit with China, yet Prime Minister Narendra Modi told BRICS leaders the bloc "represent 50 percent of the world's population, 40 percent of global GDP, and more than 25 percent of global trade."
- During Saturday's bilateral talks, Modi and Xi expressed commitment to a "fair, reasonable, and mutually acceptable resolution of the boundary question," guided by "mutual respect, mutual sensitivity and mutual interest."
- Analysts warn the expanded 11-member bloc acts as a "big constraint" on efficacy, complicating New Delhi's diplomatic balancing as India maintains strategic autonomy amid volatile relations with the West.
