Modi-Xi Meet LIVE Updates: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday gave Chinese President Xi Jinping a temple tour around Mahabalipuram. Modi first received Xi at Arjuna’s Penance, before taking him around the Panch Rathas and then the Shore Temple. Earlier in the day, Xi touched down in Chennai for the two-day informal summit with Modi and received a grand cultural welcome with traditional dance performances at the airport. Both the state and the central government agencies have made all-out efforts to deck up the coastal town that had strong historical linkages with China’s Fujian province. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\nAfter landing in Chennai, Modi expressed the wish that the summit will further strengthen ties between India and China. “Landed in Chennai. I am happy to be in the great land of Tamil Nadu, known for its wonderful culture and hospitality,” he said in tweets in English, Tamil and Chinese. “It is gladdening that Tamil Nadu will host President Xi Jinping. May this Informal Summit further strengthen ties between India and China,” he added. An unprecedented security cover has been thrown in and around Mahabalipuram, also known as Mamallapuram, which has inconvenienced people in the town as well as tourists.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
