Xi Jinping Visits India for BRICS Summit Amid Diplomatic Thaw and Economic Challenges
Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to visit New Delhi for the BRICS Summit on September 12-13, marking his first trip to India in seven years. The visit aims to advance diplomatic ties amid ongoing efforts to normalise relations following the 2020 border clashes. While diplomatic engagement shows progress, business ties remain constrained by investment restrictions, visa delays, and trade imbalances. A potential meeting between Xi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to focus on border issues, economic cooperation, and stabilising bilateral relations.
