NEW DELHI, Aug 24 (Reuters) – Chinese President Xi Jinping is likely to attend next month’s BRICS summit in New Delhi with a large delegation, three sources said, in what would be his first visit in seven years and a fresh sign of a thaw between the rivals.
India is hosting the September 12 to 13 summit, where Xi’s presence would be watched less for the BRICS agenda than for what it signals about Beijing and New Delhi’s efforts to stabilise relations after deadly border clashes in 2020.
