The 16th BRIC summit has been organized in Kazan city of Russia. Meanwhile, an official meeting is going to take place between PM Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping today. This visit is considered important amid the long-running military standoff between India and China.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Kazan, Russia to attend the BRICS summit. Historic meetings are going to be held in Kazan city today. The eyes of the whole world including America and western countries are on this meeting. In the meeting, the Presidents of two giant countries of Asia are going to hold formal talks after five years. A bilateral meeting is to be held today between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Considering the current situation all over the world, this meeting is considered very important in many ways.
Modi-Jinping met in the year 2019
PM Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping had earlier come face to face at the BRICS summit held in Brazil in 2019. After this, both the leaders are scheduled to meet each other during the BRICS summit to be held in Russia in 2024. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed the bilateral talks between the two leaders at a press conference in Kazan, Russia.
An agreement was reached between India and China
It is noteworthy that this meeting is being held between the two countries after the agreement between India and China regarding patrolling on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh. The long-running military conflict between India and China in eastern Ladakh seems to be ending. China has confirmed that an agreement has been reached with India to end the standoff between the two armies in eastern Ladakh.
There was tension after a fierce clash
Let us tell you that on 15-16 June 2020, Indian and Chinese soldiers came face to face in the Galwan Valley of eastern Ladakh. There was a violent clash between the two sides, in which 20 Indian soldiers were martyred, while more than 40 Chinese soldiers were also killed. However, the People's Liberation Army has not yet officially confirmed the death of its soldiers. Four years after the incident, India and China have now moved towards ending the standoff, resulting in an agreement between the two countries.
Do the five eyes have the answer?
It is also worth noting that Canada has been making baseless allegations against India for the last few days. In this, many Five Eyes countries including America are also seen taking its side. This meeting between Xi Jinping and PM Modi is also being seen as a strong reaction against the Five Eyes Group. Five Eyes can be understood as a group formed by five countries to spy around the world. These five countries share intelligence inputs among themselves. This club includes America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain.
