Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Johannesburg, asking officials to work at resolving a border dispute.
Xi and Modi have largely avoided direct talks since the border conflict began in May 2020 despite having crossed paths at a number of international gatherings. They last had an unplanned exchange about ties at a dinner for Group of 20 leaders in Bali last November.
