TIL Desk/World/ Hangzhou-Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet on Sunday on the first day of the G20 summit in Hangzhou and are likely to discuss bilateral differences over issues including the proposed USD 46 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor which runs through PoK.
The Modi-Xi meeting assumes significance as India-China relations have followed a southward trajectory over contentious issues like the listing of Pakistan-based terrorist groups in the UN, China stalling India’s membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group and the ambitious China-Pakistan Economic Corridor that criss-crosses Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
During Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s visit to Delhi this month, India and China formed a mechanism led by Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar and the Chinese Vice Foreign Minister to address their differences. The meeting between Modi and Xi — their second in less than three months — is expected to take place in the morning of September 4, officials here said. Modi and Xi had last met on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit on June 23 in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan.
