A summit of five major developing countries- Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa- are meeting in the southeastern Chinese city of Xiamen.
China is hosting the 9th annual BRICS summit. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was welcomed by Chinese President Xi Jingping at the International Conference Centre in Xiamen where the BRICS nations will map out their future course.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he is looking forward to building upon the results and outcomes of the Goa Summit. He said, “I also look forward to productive discussions and positive outcomes that will support the agenda
of a stronger BRICS partnership under the chairmanship of China.”
The three day long summit at Xiamen comes days after India and China ended the 73-day standoff at Doklam near Sikkim border.
Both Modi and Xi are expected to hold a bilateral meeting on Tuesday.
