Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday tweeted a "special thanks" to Chinese President Xi Jinping for "an extremely productive meeting" in Xi'an earlier in the day.
Modi, who flew in to Beijing on the second leg of his three-day Chinese visit, held summit level talks with Xi in the Chinese historic city of Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi province and the hometown of President Xi.
"Reached Beijing after a memorable day in Xi'an. My gratitude to the people of Xi'an for their warmth & hospitality," Modi tweeted.
"A special thanks to President Xi Jinping, with whom I had an extremely productive meeting earlier today," he posted.
