Modi-Xi meet at BRICS Summit: India-China relations getting warmer?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had arrived at the Chinese city of Xiamen on Sunday and attended the BRICS Summit on Monday

The Chinese President said BRICS leaders have agreed to regularise and institutionalise people-to-people and cultural exchanges. Xi said developed nations needed to provide more assistance to developing countries, while the BRICS nations and their developing country partners should oppose protectionism.

At the Xiamen Summit, the BRICS leaders called for swift and effective implementation of relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) international standards worldwide.

The BRICS Declaration has specifically mentioned terror outfits saying "we express concern over the security situation in the region and violence caused by the Taliban, the Islamic State [IS], Al-Qaeda and its affiliates, including the Haqqani Network, the Lashkar-e-Taiba [LeT], the Jaish-e-Mohammad [JeM], the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan [TTP] and the Hizbut Tahrir."

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday hailed the Belt and Road project at a BRICS forum here, saying that the initiative has received a good response. India has opposed Xi's ambitious project, the artery of which — China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) — passes through a part of Kashmir held by Pakistan.

China will contribute $500 million for a South-South cooperation assistance fund to help other developing countries deal with famine, refugees, climate change and public health challenges.

Xi Jinping said although the global economy had improved, risk factors had also increased. Xi appeared to rebuke the United States's recent resistance to international agreements - including the Paris climate accord.

The BRICS Summit concluded on Tuesday afternoon with Prime Minister Modi leaving for Myanmar for a two-day state visit, his first to that country
