It remains unclear whether Xi Jinping will hold bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but Reuters says the visit is considered important for the future direction of ties between the two countries.
Key Points:
- Xi Jinping arrives in India on September 12th.
- Bilateral meeting with Indian PM Narendra Modi is uncertain.
- Relations between China and India have improved since 2020 border clashes, but tensions persist.
- Business level difficulties include investment regulations, visa delays, and restrictions on industrial equipment imports.
- Reuters reports that both leaders view each other as partners, not rivals.
- However, security concerns led New Delhi to reject a proposal to link Alipay with India’s instant payments system.
