Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a two-day visit to China to attend the SCO meeting, with a crucial bilateral meeting scheduled with Chinese President Xi Jinping. This encounter is the first between the two leaders in seven years, adding significant weight to the discussions. The summit in Tianjin hosts representatives from over 20 countries. Discussions between Modi and Jinping are expected to cover crucial topics such as border issues, the impact of the Ukraine war, and possibilities for economic cooperation. The context of the meeting is also shaped by US tariffs, which have been imposed on several SCO member countries, making this summit crucial. The agenda also emphasizes the SCO’s objective to promote regional peace and progress and a 10-year development strategy.
