Xi Jinping to Visit India for BRICS Summit After 7 Years

Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to travel to New Delhi for the BRICS Summit, marking his first visit to India since 2019. The trip is seen as a step toward easing diplomatic tensions between the two countries, though business ties remain cautious. Xi is scheduled to meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the first day of the summit. The visit follows a seven-year gap in such high-level travel and puts trade and normalization on the agenda.
