Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to travel to India for the upcoming BRICS summit, where he may hold a bilateral meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marking their first face‑to‑face encounter in India since 2020.
Chinese President Xi Jinping is slated to visit India for the forthcoming BRICS summit, scheduled to take place in New Delhi in early 2025. Reports suggest that the visit could include a bilateral meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which would be their first face‑to‑face encounter in India since 2020.
The BRICS summit, a key platform for the five emerging economies, is expected to attract leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The meeting would provide an opportunity for both leaders to discuss bilateral trade, regional security, and global economic cooperation.
While the Indian government has not yet confirmed the itinerary, the possibility of a Modi–Xi meeting has generated considerable interest among analysts who view it as a sign of strengthening ties between the two countries.
Details regarding the exact schedule and agenda remain unannounced, and observers are awaiting official statements from the Indian and Chinese foreign ministries.
