PM Modi and Xi Jimping To Discuss on Important Issues Including Border Dispute Today

The results of the second informal dialogue between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jimping on Saturday are indicative of auspiciousness in terms of relations between the two countries. The warm meeting of the two leaders on Friday in Maamallipuram, ie Mahabalipuram, a witness to the old India-China relationship, about 57 km from Chennai, has reduced the tensions in bilateral relations due to Kashmir to a great extent. On Friday, only Domestic bilateral relations, Trade, Terrorism, Religious fundamentalism, and Investment relations were discussed. There will be talks on international issues and other complex issues including border dispute on Saturday. It is believed that after the bilateral talks on both sides, some concrete measures can be announced to restore confidence on the border.

Late last night, Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said that the two leaders stayed together for five hours in which no one else was in talks with them for most of the time. An hour was kept for dinner, but it lasted a full two and a half hours. Modi and Xi Jimping also told each other about the priorities of their governments. President Chinfing expressed his desire to work closely with Prime Minister Modi for the next four and a half years.

Considerable time was given in the talks on economic issues. The two leaders explored a wide range of options, particularly on measures to increase investment and remove bilateral trade imbalances. Terrorism was another important issue on which both leaders expressed equal concern. In particular, both countries also agreed to increase cooperation in the future to curb the increasing fanaticism in the society.

Gokhale said that Modi and Xi Jimping have been negotiated 17 times at the bilateral level, which expresses the growing trust between the two leaders. Apart from this, informal conversations have been held twice.
