Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Xiamen to attend the BRICS Summit during which he would look forward to having “productive discussions and positive outcomes” with leaders of the grouping to support the agenda for a stronger partnership among the member countries.

Modi will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday at the end of the BRICS summit for the first time since the resolution of the two-month standoff in Doklam along Sikkim border.

On Monday, Modi will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin followed by a meeting with President Michael Temer of Brazil.

Modi’s tight schedule includes a meeting with President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt on Tuesday morning — Egypt is one of the five counties — Mexico, Guinea, Thailand and Tajikistan — invited to take part in a meeting on the sidelines of BRICS.
