As the world has its eyes on Narendra Modi’s visit to China, just months after the standoff between the two neighbouring giants over the Doklam issue, the Prime Minister’s visit seems to have begun on a jolly note.

Modi, who is only spending about 24 hours in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, got a personal tour of the Hubei Provincial Museum in Wuhan with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday, 27 April.

Modi and Xi viewed antique Chinese artefacts and exchanged views on boosting dialogue between their two ancient civilisations, and on how to live together peacefully, China's state news agency Xinhua said.

PM Modi was far too happy while trying to play the giant musical instrument.
