India and China today signed three-Gujarat specific pacts shortly after Chinese President Xi Jinping commenced his three-day visit to the country from the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The state authorities rolled out the red carpet as Xi, the first top Chinese leader to visit Gujarat, was given a warm welcome after an Air China special aircraft carrying him and his delegation landed at the airport here. Giant billboards in Mandarin, Gujarati and English were put up at various places here to welcome him.

Xi's three-day visit is aimed at ramping up trade and investments, besides having discussions on substantive issues including the contentious border dispute. It also coincides with Modi's 64th birthday today.

Modi and Xi, who met for a while, will hold extensive talks in Delhi tomorrow.
