PM Modi's China visit comes at a time when the two countries were locked in a verbal dual over border stand-off in Sikim. Earlier, a scheduled airport welcoming ceremony in Xiamen for Prime Minister Modi was cancelled on Sunday due to inclement weather.
"The aircraft carrying Indian PM arrived in Xiamen on Sept 3. A scheduled airport welcoming ceremony was cancelled due to heavy rainfall," People's Daily China tweeted.
Chinese President Jinping had earlier said that the BRICS must commit to engage in diplomacy to resolve "hotspot issues" for "global peace and development" and not "conflict and confrontation".

I also look forward to productive discussions and positive outcomes that will support the agenda of a stronger BRICS partnership under the chairmanship of China."
