Chennai: Indian PM Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping are currently in  Mamallapuram area of Tamil Nadu.

They are currently visiting several moments in the venue.

Modi could be seen wearing traditional southern attire during the meeting between the two leaders.

The Indian PM earlier in the day tweeted and welcomed the Chinese leader to India.

Xi is visiting India to attend the second informal meeting with Modi.

Xi Jinping was received at the Chennai airport by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister E Palaniswamy.

Modi will host a dinner for Xi Jinping on Friday night.

In this meeting in Tamil Nadu, no agreement or Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will be signed.

"The forthcoming Chennai Informal Summit will provide an opportunity for the two leaders to continue their discussions on overarching issues of bilateral, regional and global importance and to exchange views on deepening India-China Closer Development Partnership," the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement earlier.

The meeting will take place in the backdrop of the strained relationship between India and Pakistan over the abrogation of Article 370 which withdrew Jammu and Kashmir's special status.

Though Pakistan has tried to internationalise the Kashmir issue, India maintained the abrogation of Article 370 is its internal matter.

China has recently said the dispute over Kashmir should be resolved by New Delhi and Islamabad.

The two leaders had their inaugural Informal Summit in Wuhan, China on Apr 27-28.
