The two leaders met in the southeastern city of Xiamen after the three-day Summit and the Dialogue of Emerging Market and Developing Countries.

Xi told Modi, "healthy, stable bilateral ties (were) in line with fundamental interests of the two nations", Xinhua news agency reported.

Indian and Chinese troops last month ended a tense stand-off on the Doklam border which began in June and which seriously affected their ties.

Earlier on Tuesday, Modi also held a bilateral meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
