Durban: In the first-high level contact after the new Chinese leadership took over, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh met Chinese President Xi Jinping and raised the issue of Beijing's proposal to construct three dams across the Brahmaputra river on its side.
Singh called on President Xi, who took over as President earlier this month as part of decadal change of power structure in China, on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit which the two leaders attended here.
The Prime Minister is understood to have conveyed to President Xi concerns in India over the Chinese proposal to construct three dams across Brahmaputra.
The sources said during an informal discussion at the summit earlier in the day, President Xi told Singh that he was aware that the Prime Minister had good relations with his predecessor Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao and he would like to carry forward that.
At the meeting, the Prime Minister invited President Xi to visit India to which he said he accepted it and would make the visit at an appropriate time.
The President extended an invitation to Singh to visit China and he reciprocated it in a similar vein.
