PM Modi's bilateral meetings during the BRICS summit in Johannesburg are being finalised, but Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra did not confirm whether Modi would meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. If they meet, it will be the first since their border standoff began in May 2020. India and China are still resolving pending issues at the standoff areas of Eastern Ladakh's Depsang and Demchok, with talks among local commanders regarding confidence-building measures.
