China, India arranging meeting for Xi, Modi, China's foreign ministry says
The leaders are expected to discuss border management, trade and a cautious thaw after a 2020 clash that killed 20 Indian and four Chinese soldiers.
- Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in New Delhi on Saturday for the 18th BRICS summit, marking his first visit to India in seven years; he is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi at 5:45 PM today.

- Both nations reached an eight-point consensus during the 25th round of Special Representatives' talks in Beijing to advance boundary delimitation; the agreement targets an "Early and Substantial Harvest" of border management discussions.
