First handshake since Galwan: PM Modi, Xi Jinping meet at G20 dinner
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday met Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 dinner hosted by
Indonesian President Joko Widodo in Bali, Indonesia.
Both the leaders exchanged pleasantries at the high-profile dinner.
Notably, this is the first handshake since China's Peoples Liberation Army and the Indian Army's standoff in eastern Ladakh in April 2020.
The relations between India and China soured following a standoff in April-May 2020 over the transgressions by the Chinese Army in multiple
areas including the Finger Area, Galwan Valley, Hot Springs, and Kongrung Nala. The situation worsened after violent clashes with Chinese troops in Galwan Valley in June.

‘On every issue we are together...’ US State Department Spokesman Zed Tarar on Modi-Biden meet
India and United States have always been on the same page as far as several global issues are concerned, US State Department Spokesperson Zed Tarar said on Monday, during the ongoing G20 Summit in Bali where both leaders greeted each other with a warm hug and shared some light moments before heading in to the day's engagements.
Speaking to ANI in Bali, Tarar on Tuesday said that there is a "friendship" between Biden and Modi, and that it is "apparent."
"There is a friendship between President Biden and PM Modi which is apparent. There are several such world topics that both nations do not see face to face. But that does not affect our relationship. Every country moves as per their own strategy, most important is we are keeping pressure on Russia, not on our friends," said Zed Tarar.
Zed Tarar stated that the schedule for a bilateral meeting between the two leaders is in progress but he could not confirm immediately whether or not there would be a meeting between the two leaders.
