Xi Jinping Visits India for BRICS Summit Amid India-China Diplomatic Thaw
Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to India for the 18th BRICS Summit marks his first trip in seven years and signals a cautious thaw in India-China relations following the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. The leaders are expected to discuss border stability, trade imbalances, and economic cooperation amid ongoing territorial disputes. Both countries have taken steps to restore engagement, including troop disengagement and resumed flights, while navigating broader geopolitical challenges. Experts emphasize this as a re-engagement rather than a full reset, with hopes for sustained dialogue and progress.
