BRICS Summit - Modi-Jinping met in BRICS after 5 years, discussed many issues

BRICS Summit: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is currently on a visit to Russia, where on Wednesday he addressed the BRICS Summit held in Kazan. After this summit, the much-awaited bilateral talks are taking place between Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping. This meeting is taking place between the two leaders after five years, the last talks were held in Mahabalipuram on 11 October 2019.

Between 2014 and 2019, PM Modi and Xi Jinping had a total of 18 meetings, in which bilateral issues were discussed. Jinping came to India for the first time on 18 September 2014, and after this Modi visited China on 14 May 2015. The two leaders also met during many important international conferences, such as the G20 Summit held in China on 4-5 September 2016 and the SCO meeting on 8-9 June 2017. The informal talks held in Wuhan, China in April 2018 and the meetings held in Mahabalipuram in October 2019 are also particularly noteworthy.

Positive atmosphere in Kazan: Talks continue despite tensions

The positive atmosphere of the bilateral talks between the two leaders in Kazan has been created due to the reduction in border disputes and tensions between the two countries in the last few months. India and China have agreed to reduce tensions on the border and restore the earlier status quo, paving the way for talks. Although tensions remained on the border, both countries tried to resolve issues through dialogue.

A continuous dialogue continued between India and China, in which both countries tried to resolve many important disputes. Recently, China sent its new ambassador to India, who praised India and took steps towards improving bilateral relations. The Chinese Foreign Ministry also praised India, which saw a positive change in diplomatic relations between the two countries. Apart from this, relief was given in many matters related to trade and visa, which could improve bilateral trade relations.

Importance of Modi-Jinping talks

The importance of this dialogue also increases because it is taking place at a time when many changes are taking place in global politics, and the world's eyes are fixed on India-China relations. The role of India and China has also been important on multilateral forums like the BRICS Summit. This dialogue is expected to bring a new direction and energy in the relations between the two countries.

Conclusion

The bilateral talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Xi Jinping after the BRICS Summit in Kazan can prove to be very important for both the countries. The continuation of dialogue and cooperation despite the border dispute is a positive step towards reducing the tension between the two countries.
