Prime Minister Modi today held a meeting with the Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in South Africa.
The meeting between the two leaders is expected to resolve the ties that Indian and China developed during the Doklam issue.
Speaking about the meeting, Foreign Secretary V Gokhale said, "Both PM Modi and President Xi Jinping have reaffirmed once again their readiness to give the necessary direction to their militaries to enhance communications between them and to maintain peace and tranquillity in the border areas".
He further added, "An important issue which PM Modi has raised with President Jinping at his previous meetings is how to enhance Indian exports to China, particularly agricultural exports. It has been decided that an Indian trade delegation will be travelling to China on August 1 and 2."
