The meeting will take place two days after India and China arrived at an agreement on patrolling arrangements in eastern Ladakh.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Monday that India and China have reached an agreement on patrolling arrangements which would enable return of the situation before May 2020.

PM Modi, who reached Russia on Tuesday, had bilateral meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian. Kazan is hosting the 16th BRICS Summit.
