Chinese President Xi Jinping wished Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his birthday today.
Chinese Ambassador to India Le Yucheng met the Prime Minister at the Raj Bhavan in Gandhinagar this morning and conveyed the best wishes of the President and top Chinese leadership to him on the occasion of his birthday, official sources said.
Xi will arrive in Ahmedabad today on a three-day visit to India which will be the third by any Chinese President to India.
Modi and Xi will hold talks on two occasions — first when the Prime Minister will host a private dinner for the visiting dignitary after his arrival in Ahmedabad and then in New Delhi tomorrow in restricted and delegation-level formats.
