Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping held their first formal meeting in five years during the BRICS Summit in Russia. This bilateral meeting followed India's announcement of a truce with China to resume patrolling in disputed areas along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh, ending a four-year military standoff. Discussions between the leaders focused on key regional and global issues. The meeting comes after rising tensions since the Galwan Valley clash in 2020, with efforts aimed at restoring peace in the region.
