DHAKA: India Prime Minister Narendra Modi will take his global investment push to China this week, as Asia’s rival superpowers look to put aside a festering border dispute and identify areas of economic cooperation.

Modi will fly out for his first visit as premier to China before heading to South Korea where he will also seek help to upgrade India’s creaking infrastructure.

After Modi hosted China’s President Xi Jingping last year in his home state of Gujarat, Xi will return the favor by giving him a tour of his ancestral home province of Shaanxi before they head to Beijing.

Modi will also meet business chiefs in the financial hub of Shanghai, seeking to deliver on election promises for foreign investment in India's crumbling rail and other infrastructure, reports The Straits Times.
