PM Modi- XI Jinping Bilateral Meeting: Prime Minister Narendra Modi And Chinese President Xi Jinping held their first bilateral meeting in five years on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Russia on Wednesday (October 23). This meeting has taken place when India and China have agreed to restore each other's patrolling rights in the Depsang plain area and Demchok area. This reflects efforts to resolve the conflict along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh.
The two leaders had met at an informal summit in Mahabalipuram in October 2019, a few months before the Chinese incursion in eastern Ladakh led to a military standoff along the LAC. Although they held a few brief meetings in Bali (2022) and Johannesburg (2023), Wednesday's meeting is the first proper bilateral meeting.
