Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will have an informal summit in the central Chinese city of Wuhan on Friday and Saturday. Experts say both leaders will be looking to deepen their mutual trust and find ways to enhance their bilateral relations. Our reporter Su Yuting has more.

China and India the world's two biggest developing countries and emerging markets. Each with a population of more than one billion people. And they are looking to build their mutual trust and reach consensus. Many said Xi and Modi will condut discussions on major changes in the international landscape that have not been seen in the past hundred years. The informal summit in Wuhan is seen as the perfect mechanism for such brainstorming.

LAN JIANXUE, ASSOCIATE RESEARCH FELLOW CHINA INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES "And Wuhan is a very important city of Central China. It's located on the band of the Yangtze River, it has a rich civilization. Through this informal dialogue, China will be able to bring an holisitc view of the country for its Indian friends. There will be more chemistry between them too, and they will be able to set up a more constructive working relationship."

This is just the latest in their many meetings as leaders. For example, in September 2014, during a state visit to India, Modi brought Xi to his home state of Gujarat. The following year, Xi hosted the Indian prime minister in the ancient city of Xi'an, which is the capital of Xi's home province of Shaanxi. Despite these friendly exchanges, differences still exist but they're both willing to look for ways to narrow them. During a press conference ahead of the Wuhan meeting, asked whether last year's border dispute would figure in their talks, Chinese foreign ministry said the two sides needed to create conditions and trust to resolve boundary issues. One expert said the recent momentum in bilateral relations has been down to the strategic guidance of the leaders, but they need to continue to take advantage of the opportunities to open up new prospects in China-India cooperation.

LAN JIANXUE, ASSOCIATE RESEARCH FELLOW CHINA INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES "Between China and India, there are some disagreements, for example, the boundary questions, When we talk about disagreements, we understand every country will have disagreements, so it's understandable and I think these differences are managable and both countries will have the wisdom to handle them."

SU YUTING BEIJING "Experts and officials believe the informal summit is a chance for the leaders to spend some quality time together, to have heart-to-heart talks as if they're very good friends. It's strongly believed that deeper cooperation will not only benefit India and China, but also have a meaningful impact on peace and development in the region and beyond. Su Yuting, CGTN, Beijing."
