Xiamen, Sep 5 (IBNS): For the first time after the end of the Doklam stand-off, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit on Tuesday, media reports said.

However, Doklam will not be an issue in the meeting between Modi and Jinping.
 
Reports said trade and terror would be the key issues in the discussion between the topmost leaders of the two nations.
 
Though both Modi and Jinping will talk separately on Tuesday,  the PM met his Chinese counterpart and made courteous verbal exchanges a day ago.
 
In a significant shift to the diplomatic relation, both India and China have agreed to disengage border personnel at Doklam in Sikkim border, said India's Ministry of External Affairs. 

The Ministry of External Affairs of India said in a statement on last Monday that both the countries had communicated with each other regarding the Doklam issue in the last few weeks.

The military standoff  had heightened tension at the Bhutan-India-China tri-junction in Doklam, a disputed territory claimed by both Bhutan and China, where the Indian Army personnel have reached to stop China from building a road.
 
Addressing the BRICS Summit on Tuesday, PM Modi urged the BRICS nations to "team up with the International Solar Alliance for mutual gains through solar energy utilisation of solar power and sun".
 
The PM said changes can only brought through proactive approaches and co-ordination.
 
The Indian Prime Minister did not miss a chance to highlight the issues of terrorism and climate change.
 
"We need coordinated action and cooperation in areas such as counter terrorism, cyber security, and disaster management." CNN News 18 quoted Modi.
 
"We need to work together to create a greener world and mitigate the menace of climate change" the PM added.
 
The ninth BRICS which began on September 3, will end on Tuesday.
