Astana, Kazakhstan, June 9 (IBNS) : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday met Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Astana amid speculations over the future of bilateral relations between the two neighbouring Asian powers following growing differences over a host of issues.
