> Chinese President Xi Jinping has arrived in New Delhi for the BRICS summit, marking his first visit to India in seven years. He is expected to hold bilateral talks with Narendra Modi as the two countries try to repair ties damaged by the deadly 2020 Galwan Valley clashes, which killed at least 20 Indian and four Chinese soldiers and led to a military standoff and deep diplomatic freeze.
