BRICS Summit Day 2: Bilateral Talks Held at Hyderabad House in Delhi

Chinese President Xi Jinping has departed India after concluding his two-day visit for the BRICS Summit.

During the summit's second day, President Xi delivered remarks and emphasized that conflicts do not serve the international community.

His trip marked his first visit to India in seven years and the first since the Galwan clashes.

On the sidelines of the summit, President Xi held a bilateral meeting lasting over 50 minutes with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where both leaders discussed steady improvements in bilateral ties, border dispute resolutions, trade, economy, supply chain concerns, and people-to-people exchanges.

Both sides recognized that peace and tranquility along the border are vital for bilateral relations and supported efforts towards a fair, mutually acceptable boundary solution.

Prime Minister Modi underscored three mutual principles: mutual respect, mutual sensitivity, and mutual interest.

The two leaders agreed that differences should not turn into disputes, noting that India and China should act as partners rather than rivals.
