Xi Jinping was received by the governor of Tamil Nadu and the chief minister and deputy chief minister of Tamil Nadu along with other dignitaries. Cultural teams of drummers, other musicians and dancers also welcomed him.

Tamil Nadu and China have an ancient relationship.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_of_the_Tamils_with_the_Chinese states, "The relationship between the Chinese and the Tamils is 3000 years old. Trade and Cultural exchanges flourished during the reign of the Pallavas."

China and India are global powers now who were ancient powers for many centuries if not millennia, and who have re-emerged after domination by Western powers for few centuries. I think China and India have a vital role to play in this 21st century as world power equations get re-aligned to new power structures, to ensure peace and prosperity not only in China and India, but across the world.

As an Indian citizen and resident, I join in welcoming Chinese President Xi Jinping to India. I offer my prayers and best wishes for a successful informal summit between President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
