A day after Indo-China's patrolling arrangement, PM Modi to meet Xi Jinping tomorrow at BRICS

New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Russia on Tuesday.

The meeting comes following the successful patrolling arrangement between India and China along the Line of Actual Control that had faced multiple turmoils over the last few years.

Both leaders are in Russia's Kazan, where Russian President Vladimir Putin, Brazil's Lula da Silva, and South Africa's Cyril Ramaphosa are also attending the meet.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said Monday that the Indian and Chinese armies will resume patrolling in a similar way they had before the border face-off began in May 2020.

The relationship between India and China touched a new low in 2020 following a heated clash in the Galwan Valley.

Galwan Clash

The Galwan skirmish erupted from a dispute over a temporary bridge built by the Chinese in the Galwan River valley in Ladakh.

On June 15, Indian and Chinese troops engaged in a six-hour clash in the rugged terrain of Ladakh, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with makeshift weapons such as stones, batons, and iron rods.

The face-off occurred in near-complete darkness and freezing temperatures, leading to fatalities as soldiers fell or were pushed from ridges.

Twenty Indian soldiers were martyred in the clash, while China officially acknowledged four casualties, although reports indicate higher Chinese losses, as soldiers drowned in the choppy waters of the Galwan River.
