2015年CRI 习近平在家乡西安会见印度总理莫迪 猎狐一个半月海外追逃150人（在线收听）

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has begun his three-day visit to China in the city of Xi'an.

He has sat down for a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, who greeted the Indian leader in his home province of Shaanxi.

As part of their meeting, Xi Jinping has lauded the development of bilateral ties.

Modi says he wants closer cooperation with China in both the "Belt and Road" initiatives and the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank.

The three-day tour is Modi's first China visit.

Premier Li Keqiang and top legislator Zhang Dejiang will also meet him in Beijing later on this Friday.

New figures from Chinese authorities say a total of 150 suspects have been returned to China since the launch of "Fox hunt 2015" in April.

The Ministry of Public Security says economic suspects from 32 countries and regions have been caught.

Eight of them had been overseas for over 10-years.

"Fox hunt 2015" is part of the broader "Skynet" operation, which targets economic suspects.

Many of them are corrupt officials from government departments or state-owned enterprises who have fled abroad with government funds.
