Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledged on Sunday to resolve their border differences and bolster cooperation, ahead of the opening of a regional summit in Tianjin.
Modi is on his first visit to China since relations between the two countries deteriorated after Chinese and Indian soldiers engaged in deadly border clashes in 2020. Modi is visiting as part of India's membership into the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a regional political, economic and security group founded by China.
Modi said in his opening remarks that relations with China have moved in "a meaningful direction," adding that "there is a peaceful environment at the borders after disengagement."
Xi said he hoped the Tianjin meeting will "further elevate" and "promote the sustained, healthy and stable development of bilateral relations," according to state broadcaster CCTV.
The two sides should "not let the border issue define the overall China-India relationship," Xi said, adding that economic development for both countries should be their main focus.
"As long as they remain committed to the overarching goal of being partners, not rivals, and providing development opportunities, not reats, China-India relations will flourish and move forward steadily," Xi said.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who arrived in Tianjin on Sunday, is also due to meet with both leaders in the coming days.

Ukraine war is bringing China, Russia, India, and other BRICS countries together. US taxpayers will pay interest on money sent to Ukraine for 100+years since we have no budget surplus visible even with mount Palomar telescope. A budget surplus is required to pay any part of principle of national debt.
Trump’s tariffs turned these two ideologically different nations into allies.
Pakistan borders Iran so India gets the shaft is one way to look at this.
Regime change in Iran is the priority using Pakistan to infiltrate attack Iran for whom...
Yes, Trump increased tariffs on India to 50% due to Ukraine war.
The Dragon, Elephant, and Bear are meeting together without permission.
Ursula is not amused!
Nope , never happen
and ROFL , they’re doing their own Babylon Bee
Cool
We shouldn’t have anything to do with China or India .
India is playing with a cobra and feel safe.
Hold my beer
Third world crapholes.
Those idiots. They should have been allies in their tariffs and import restrictions they've had on the U.S. for many years. /sarc
The only issue I’ve criticized Trump on is tariffs.
Tariffs on BRICS nations make sense—most of them are America’s foes and have long worked against U.S. interests, even before Russia invaded Ukraine. So, taxing them isn’t a problem.
But overtaxing our allies like Canada and the EU, at the very moment we’re already clashing with BRICS, is a big mistake. Right now, the West needs unity against the China-Russia-led BRICS. Instead, America is pushing away its friends and overtaxing them. The danger is that America ends up isolating itself at the worst possible time since WWII.
The irony is this: Trump’s massive tariffs on China mostly disappeared—only about 10% remain. Meanwhile, the UK is taxed 10%, and Europe 15%.
So when you look at the actual numbers, things don’t add up.
Is the White House really opposing BRICS—or helping them?
If you’ve got an answer, I’d love to hear it.
I believe that ALL tariffs but be eliminated in-between allies. America should not be tariffed by the EU, the EU should not be tariffed by the USA.
I believe I’ve read that India is buying Russian oil, bringing it to India for refining, and then shipping it to Europe.
Making a bundle. Some friends, eh?
Yup. Looks like blowback. Our only reasoned hope is that if enough companies relocate to India, China will be hurting badly enough to get feisty. Modi should know better than to trust them but I don't know that he does. Putin SURELY cannot be trusted, so there's a clue for both he and Xi.
China wants land - they covet our land but they’ll be happy to take over Russian land. Kill off enough young Russian men and taking over Putin’s pride will be a cake walk.
An alliance every bit as effective as the Axis or the Hitler/Stalin non-aggression pact. Only a fool would trust China or Russia for an instant.
India can take back it’s invading hordes.
