India has proposed that the next informal summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping be held on October 11 in Varanasi, The Indian Express has learnt. The Chinese side is learnt to have conveyed that they are considering the proposal positively. The first informal summit between the two leaders took place in Wuhan in Hubei province in China on April 27-28, 2018. The two leaders then spent two days at a lakeside guest house in Wuhan and held discussions for almost 10 hours.
Sources said that the Prime Minister wants to reciprocate the hospitality extended to him during the informal summit in Wuhan.
The choice of Varanasi is because Modi wants to invite Xi to his parliamentary constituency, just like the Chinese President had hosted him in Xiamen for the BRICS summit where he had made a mark as a Communist Party of China office-bearer almost 30 years ago.
Modi hosted him in his home state Gujarat’s capital Ahmedabad in September 2014 and Xi had reciprocated by hosting him in his home province Shaanxi’s capital, Xian in May 2015.
A preliminary request has been conveyed through diplomatic channels to ascertain the availability of President Xi during that time.
More detailed discussions are expected to take place when the two leaders meet in Kyrgyz Republic capital, Bishkek, on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit on June 13-14.
Sources told The Indian Express that Delhi and Beijing are working towards holding a structured bilateral meeting between Modi and Xi in Bishkek. “The two leaders are likely to have their first bilateral meeting in Bishkek. The timing for the meeting is being discussed,” a source said.
In June 2017, just before the Doklam incident rocked the relationship, the two leaders had met on the sidelines of SCO summit in Astana, Kazakhstan. The leaders had come up with the formulation that “differences should not become disputes” at that meeting.
After the Doklam border stand-off was resolved in August 2017, just before the BRICS summit in Xiamen in China in September 2017, the Astana consensus evolved in June 2017 was recalled.
