New Delhi: Chinese President Xi Jinping is coming to New Delhi on September 12 and 13 on the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He will participate in the 18th BRICS summit to be held at Bharat Mandapam. During this time, there is every possibility of a one-to-one meeting between PM Modi and Jinping.

Will Modi-Jinping meet squatter to squatter without 7 years?
This will be the third subsequent year when Modi and Jinping will meet squatter to face. Earlier, both had met in Kazan and Tianjin.

China's Foreign Ministry and China's Producer to India Xu Feihong have moreover confirmed this visit. It is reported that both the countries are preparing to hold a bilateral meeting.
Will efforts to modernize India-China relations be intensified?
Chinese Producer to India Xu Feihong said on social media X that it is very important to protract the talks between India and China at the top level. He said that both the countries are trying to take relations to new heights with strategic guidance and long term perspective.
The producer emphasised that India and China should not be seen as rivals but as minutiae partners. There has moreover been talk of increasing dialogue and strengthening cooperation between the two countries.
Why is Jinping's visit to India so important?
This visit of Jinping is moreover important considering there has been tension between the two countries on LAC for a long time. In such a situation, uncontrived talks between the top leadership can be a big step towards stabilising relations. This visit is taking place when India is chairing BRICS. Issues like trade, financial cooperation, technology, strained intelligence, energy security, climate whoopee and reform of global institutions are to be discussed in the conference.
What will be the focus on the Global South in BRICS?
India is hosting the 18th BRICS Summit on September 12 and 13 at the Bharat Mandapam. The theme of India's chairmanship for 2026 is 'Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability'.
Through this conference, India wants to put forward the priorities of the Global South. In the expanded BRICS group, issues like trade, finance, technology, energy and reform of global institutions will be discussed among the member countries.
Will India's affairs with Russia and China get a new basis?
