In their first formal bilateral meeting in five years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping have welcomed the agreement for a resolution of the military stand-off at the Line of Actual Control announced earlier this week, as officials said they have now "set the process in motion for bringing [India-China] relations back to a normal path". German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will pay a three-day visit to India beginning today to hold wide-ranging talks with Narendra Modi with a focus on boosting bilateral strategic ties.
