PM Modi, Xi Jinping hold second informal summit level talks in Mamallapuram

Mamallapuram: The second informal summit level talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping are presently underway here on Saturday.

Modi and Jinping took part at a cultural event here last evening and later held discussions on trade and terror.

India's foreign secretary Vijay Gokhale said Modi and Jinping, who spent the day in the UNESCO world heritage site of Mamallapuram in Tamil Nadu, had discussions for over five hours and about 150 minutes over meal where they among others expressed concern over radicalisation and terrorism.

Briefing media on the second informal meeting of Modi and Jinping (briefing was delayed by hours owing to the long engagement of the two leaders over dinner), Gokhale said they discussed challenges of terrorism and radicalisation.

Radicalisation was a matter of concern to both, he said, adding that Modi and Jinping discussed that it should not be allowed to affect our multi cultural and multi-religious societies' fabric.

The meeting assumes significance since it is held under the shadow of India's move to do away with the special status of Kashmir (abrogation of Article 370) and Pakistan's attempt to internationalise it and involve China, a supposed close ally of the former, to target India.
