Xi invites Modi to visit his hometown Xian in China

The Hindu  

Buoyed by his visit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state Gujarat, Chinese President Xi Jinping in a reciprocal gesture invited him to his hometown Xian, where the famous Buddhist monk Hiuen Tsang spent his last years after his return from India some 2,000 years ago. “When he came back to China, he stayed in my hometown, Xi’an, to translate and spread Buddhist thoughts to Chinese people,” official media in Beijing quoted Mr. Xi as saying. Xian is the home of Wild Goose Pagoda, built to highlight the monk’s efforts to visit India in 645 AD through the ancient Silk Road and return home after a 17-year long sojourn with precious Buddhist scriptures. The Chinese media also highlighted the India-China agreement to strengthen culture and personnel exchanges during Mr. Xi’s current visit to India.
