They were expected to share the stage also at the Brics business forum meeting, which was addressed by PM Modi, but Xi skipped the event and instead sent his commerce minister Wang Wentao to represent him.
PM Modi and Xi came together also in Samarkand in 2022 for the SCO summit but there was no bilateral meeting even though the summit took place barely a week after India and China resolved the standoff at the Gogra friction point.
