NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping will come face-to-face on Friday (Sept 16) for the first time since deadly border clashes in 2020 frayed ties between the Asian rivals.
 
Modi will fly to the Uzbek city of Samarkand on Thursday for a summit of the regional security group known as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), which will also be attended by Xi and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
 
The event comes after Indian and Chinese soldiers this week disengaged in a disputed area along a remote western Himalayan border after more than two years of a stand-off. Modi and Xi have not spoken to each other since the stand-off began. 
 
India's foreign secretary Vinay Kwatra told a news conference on Thursday that Modi would have bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the summit on Friday but declined to confirm a one-on-one with Xi. China has also not confirmed a meeting between the two leaders.
 
The SCO's permanent members are China, India, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Pakistan.
 
Russia has already confirmed a bilateral meeting between Putin and Modi, during which they are expected to talk about overall trade as well as sales of Russian fertilisers and mutual food supplies. 
 
Kwatra said broader SCO discussions would range from trade and regional security to tourism and terrorism.

Indian vs Chinese! They say if you invest in India, you end up becoming wanted criminal over there! If you invest in China, they steal you IP and produce even better and cheaper product of yours!
And then you have indon! They say if you invest in Indonesia, your one million ringgit becomes one million rupiah! If you product you goods in Indonesia, they will produce cheaper but lousy product of yours!
