Chinese President Xi Jinping has arrived in India for the BRICS summit, marking his first visit to the country since 2019 and signaling a potential diplomatic thaw.
The 24-hour visit includes high-level discussions on trade and border issues, though a confirmed one-on-one meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi remains unverified.
While the visit aims to stabilize bilateral relations, analysts note that business ties between the two nations remain constrained by deep-seated mutual suspicion.
