Indian PM Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping held an informal summit in Wuhan, China, in April this year which helped restore bilateral relations. A Chinese delegation met an Indian team on August 28 to hold discussions on the impending visit of the Chinese Minister of Public Security and the proposed agreement on security cooperation between the two countries, the official said.
