BRICS: Xi Opts Out Of Modi's Gala Dinner; India 'Amends' China's Statement | Firstpost Live

The BRICS Summit in New Delhi takes an unexpected turn as Chinese President Xi Jinping skips Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s gala dinner. Xi attends the summit and holds a 40-minute bilateral meeting with Modi, with both leaders calling for a long-term approach to India-China ties. Modi stresses that differences must not become disputes and says peace along the border is essential. Xi reiterates that India and China are “partners, not rivals”. But India’s official readout leaves out the phrase. Xi’s absence from the dinner adds fresh questions about the direction of the India-China thaw. Josh Barnes tells you more.
