Xi Jinping and Narendra Modi meet, two days after a China-India border deal

China and India should manage their differences properly, Chinese President Xi Jinping told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, in their first meeting since the bilateral relationship was badly strained by a deadly border clash four years ago.

“It is important for both sides to have more communication and cooperation, properly handle differences and disagreements, and facilitate each other’s pursuit of development aspirations,” Xi told Modi on the sidelines of the Brics summit in Kazan, Russia.
