TIANJIN: (Aug 31) Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet here on Sunday, their first in about ten months, for wide-ranging talks aimed at improving relations.

The meeting assumes significance in view of a sudden downturn in India-US ties triggered by Washington’s policies on trade and tariffs.

Modi and Xi will meet on the sidelines of the two-day Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit beginning Sunday. Considering the scope of issues for discussion, official sources indicated that they could meet again later in the day.
