India announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be paying a three-day visit to China, even as Bhutan welcomed the diplomatic end of the border crisis.

Statement by The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)

MEA announced that Mr. Modi’s visit to China for the BRICS summit will be followed by his visit to Myanmar.
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will be visiting Xiamen, in China’s Fujian province during September 3-5, 2017 to attend the 9th BRICS [Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa] Summit.
The trip is likely to include a one-on-one meeting between Prime Minister Modi and President Xi Jinping on September 4.
The meeting between the two leaders will be the first since they exchanged courtesies during the July 7-8 G20 summit meeting in Hamburg.
India on Monday declared de-escalation of the two-month-long standoff on the Doklam plateau that had led to dramatic rise in tensions.
