Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to make a trip to China later this month, his security chief confirmed Tuesday during talks with Beijing's foreign minister in New Delhi.
Modi will attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit opening on Aug. 31 in Tianjin, his first visit to China since 2018, Ajit Doval said, in public comments at the start of a meeting with China's top diplomat, Wang Yi.
"Our prime minister will be visiting for the SCO summit," Doval said, speaking of "new energy" in diplomatic ties.
Yi said that ties with India are "demonstrating a positive trend" in returning to the "path of cooperation."
China "attaches great importance" to Modi's visit to the SCO summit, he added.
