Beijing: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping next week on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit at Bishkek, the first meeting between the two leaders after the formation of the new government, Indian envoy Vikram Misri announced on Thursday.
“In recent years, India and China have been able to build a very mature and stable relationship. The informal summit between Prime Minister Modi and President Xi in Wuhan last year was a milestone and has been instrumental in taking our relations to a new height,” Misri said.
It is worth mentioning that last year, our leaders met four times on the sidelines of different multi-lateral meetings. Next week, they are again meeting in Bishkek on the sidelines of the SCO Summit,” he said.
The SCO summit is due to be held on June 13-14 in the Kyrgyzstan capital.
The SCO is a China-led 8-member security bloc with India and Pakistan being admitted to the grouping in 2017.
This will be their first meeting after Modi’s re-election following the stunning victory of the BJP in the general elections.
