Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in China after more than seven years, drawing global attention. His visit, scheduled for August 31 and September 1, is centered on attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. The trip holds added importance due to recent strains in India-U.S. relations following U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff policies.
Modi’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday is being closely watched, as discussions are expected to focus on strengthening India-China economic ties and addressing challenges in bilateral relations, including the tension following the eastern Ladakh border dispute. Modi reached China after concluding the first leg of his two-nation visit to Japan.
