NEW DELHI – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia on Wednesday, a sign of growing rapprochement after relations soured following a deadly 2020 clash along the disputed Himalayan border. .
The meeting comes on the heels of a major border patrol agreement announced earlier this week that is expected to pave the way for an end to the four-year-old India-China border standoff.
