Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday met Chinese President Xi Jinping here to discuss furthering the friendship between India and China. Modi, who is here to attend the 10th BRICS Summit, met Xi for the third time in nearly four months.

The two leaders held a two-day informal summit in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late April and then they met on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Qingdao, China in June.
