PM Modi's thumbs up at Brics Summit dinner with Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping
During the 16th Brics Summit in Russia, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was seen giving a thumbs up at a dinner with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
This gesture occurred as India and China reached an agreement on patrolling arrangements at the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The interaction highlighted a moment of camaraderie among the leaders, showcasing the deepening ties between China and Russia.
Additionally, President Putin greeted PM Modi with a handshake and a hug, emphasizing their close relationship. Modi and Xi are scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the summit in Kazan. This marks a breakthrough in resolving the over four-year-long military standoff between India and China, which escalated after a clash in the Galwan Valley in June 2020.
The seating arrangement at the dinner, with President Putin positioned between PM Modi and President Xi, hints at a shift towards closer diplomatic relations among the three nations.
