Modi, Xi Likely to Meet at BRICS Summit in Russia
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Russia from October 22-23 to attend the 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan, hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin. This will mark Modi’s second visit to Russia this year, following his bilateral summit visit to Moscow in July.
While Modi is set to meet with leaders from BRICS nations, including South Africa and Brazil, much attention is focused on a potential meeting between Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Tensions between India and China have been high following border disputes, and their interaction at the summit could be significant.
The BRICS Summit is seen as a key platform for discussing global economic cooperation and regional security issues.
