Xi is the first Chinese head of state to visit India in eight years
- 5 years ago
China is one of India's top trading partners and the Asian neighbours are the world's most populous countries.
The two countries disagree over the demarcation of several Himalayan border areas and fought a brief war in 1962.
Tensions over the issue still flare up from time to time.
Beijing and Delhi have held numerous rounds of border talks, but all have been unsuccessful so far.
Mr Xi's visit comes amid unconfirmed reports in the Indian media of a new face-off on the border.
The reports said that Indian troops had spotted their Chinese counterparts trying to construct a temporary road into the Indian territory across the Line of Actual Control (the de facto boundary) in the Ladakh region.
