PM Modi begins talks with Chinese president Xi Jinping in his hometown, Xi'an. Modi arrived in China today and arrived in Xian on a three-day visit to the country during which he will hold summit talks with the Chinese President on a range of issues including the festering border dispute and China's plans for infrastructure projects in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.


Xi joined Modi in the afternoon and the two leaders will spend nearly about five hours with restricted as well as informal talks to build on their rapport discussing the most contentious issues like border dispute and China's big push to rope in reluctant India into the Silk Road projects, specially the maritime silk road over which India has strong reservations.

India has raised with China its concerns over huge Chinese investments in PoK following President Xi Jinping's trip to Pakistan last month.
