New Delhi, August 24, 2026: Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to visit India in September to attend the upcoming BRICS summit in New Delhi, according to reports.
If confirmed, the visit would be significant as it would mark Xi's first trip to India in seven years. Reports suggest that a large Chinese delegation could accompany the President.
The BRICS summit, scheduled to be hosted by India in New Delhi on September 12 and 13, is expected to bring several major global leaders together.
The possible visit comes against the backdrop of complex India-China relations following the border tensions of recent years. Both countries have continued diplomatic and military-level discussions aimed at managing differences along the disputed Himalayan border.
While Xi's participation has not yet been officially confirmed, his potential visit could provide an important opportunity for high-level discussions between India and China.
