October 15, 2016 18:19

Prime Minister meets Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in Goa.

Xi was received by Minister of State for External Affairs V K Singh at IS Hansa base located near Dabolim airport, 15 km away from the Summit venue in South Goa.

Issues such as India's NSG membership bid and China blocking UN ban on JeM chief and Pathankot attack mastermind Masood Azhar will be raised when the two leaders meet, said sources.

A range of key bilateral and international issues including ways to tackle threat of terrorism besides security situation in the region are also likely to figure in the talks on the sidelines of the BRICS summit.

Noting that the Goa summit shows continued progress of cooperation between the five countries, Chinese official media today decried West's "bad mouthing" of BRICS and said disagreements among members are "minor" and cooperation is the norm.

"Since the establishment of BRICS, speculations of disunity among the countries and decline in their power have emerged one after another. However, the truth is that cooperation among the countries has continued to be strengthened and institutionalised," state-run Global Times said on the BRICS summit.
