Modi’s Double-Diplomacy: Japan & China Visits on the Horizon
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is reportedly planning back-to-back visits to Japan and China, beginning around August 29, 2025. The trip is expected to include bilateral talks with the Japanese Prime Minister.
Following his engagement in Japan, PM Modi is slated to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in China from August 31 to September 1, 2025. This will mark his first visit to China since the Ladakh border standoff.
While no official confirmation has been released by the government, sources suggest the trip is in the advanced stages of planning. The visits hold significant geopolitical implications, given the current international landscape.
This high-stakes diplomatic manoeuvre comes at a crucial juncture for India’s foreign policy, particularly concerning its relations with both Japan and China. The outcome of these meetings will undoubtedly shape the future trajectory of India’s engagement with these two Asian giants, impacting trade, security, and regional stability.
