Chinese President Xi Jinping made his first state visit to the United States in over a decade and later met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the BRICS summit.
In September, Xi Jinping traveled to Washington for a landmark state visit, the first by a Chinese leader to the United States in more than ten years. He also attended the BRICS summit, where he held talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marking his first trip to India in seven years.
