PM Modi, Xi Jinping hold second informal meeting in Mamallapuram

Mamallapuram: In an attempt to strengthen the ties between the nations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping held their second informal meeting here on Saturday.

Modi, who was dressed in usual kurta and pajamas, was waiting to welcome Jinping at the venue where the two held talks.

The two leaders held a meeting of a reasonable length along the coast with scenic beauty in the background.

Following the one-on-one meeting, Modi also held a delegation-level talk with Jinping. 

The meeting assumes significance since it was 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.

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.
