G20 Summit: PM Modi, Xi Jinping exchange greetings for the first time since Ladakh crisis

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday exchanged greetings at the G20 dinner in Bali, Indonesia. This is the first time both leaders have exchanged greetings since the tension broke out at the border in Ladakh in 2020. There were expectations that both leaders could meet at the SCO Summit held between 15 and 16 September 2022 in Samarkand, Uzbekistan but that did not happen. 

The border crisis began in April 2020 after the Chinese PLA advanced into areas claimed by India. Both countries held multiple rounds of talks to achieve the status quo ante at several friction points.
