Chinese President Xi Jinping will most likely visit India for an informal summit with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the next five days.

While there are no official confirmations, the announcement is expected to be made soon.

The two leaders are expected to meet in the southern part of India in Mamallapuram on October 11 and 12.

President Xi is expected to reach Chennai on October 11 and return the next day.

China’s Ambassador Sun Weidong tweeted on Sunday, “Since Wuhan Informal Summit, the relations have witnessed steady progress. Glad to see our leaders’ consensus… transformed into cooperation. Hope more impetus for our friendship.”

President Xi is expected to visit Kathmandu after his visit to India. According to reports, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan might also visit China later.
