Xi and Modi expected to meet at SCO summit in India

The Chinese foreign ministry confirmed on Wednesday that Xi would attend the SCO summit, while Modi is also expected to participate.

Beijing has not officially confirmed Xi’s India visit, saying only that China attaches importance to Brics cooperation and supports India in hosting the summit.

The disputed China-India border is expected to be high on the agenda when Xi meets Modi in the Indian capital, alongside trade, investment and people-to-people ties, including visas, according to people familiar with the negotiations.

On Wednesday, New Delhi and Beijing gave that track a more detailed script.
