On Wednesday, September 17, Chinese President Xi Jinping will reportedly visit Gujarat, before he lands in New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also expected to be in Ahmedabad that day -- it is his 64th birthday, NDTV reports.

Though China has officially not announced dates for its president's India visit or his itinerary, the Gujarat government said in a statement that he would visit the state for a day on September 17 and would go to the Sabarmati Ashram of Mahatma Gandhi.

National Security Advisor Ajit Doval will hold talks today with Chinese State Councillor Yang Jiechi in Beijing and is expected to meet Xi after that.

Modi is expected to visit Gujarat to meet his 94-year-old mother Hiraba like he does every year on his birthday.
