Modi-Xi Summit on the Horizon: SCO Meet to Test India-China Thaw
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at the upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in China. This would mark the Prime Minister’s first visit to China since the Galwan Valley clash in June 2020.
The meeting follows a previous encounter between the two leaders in Kazan, Russia, and comes amidst ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve the protracted border dispute.
Discussions are likely to focus on key issues of mutual concern, including counter-terrorism strategies, regional security dynamics, and bilateral trade relations. The summit presents a significant opportunity for both nations to navigate their complex relationship.
The success of this meeting will be keenly watched globally, as it holds implications for regional stability and the future trajectory of India-China relations. The outcome will significantly impact the ongoing border talks and the overall economic partnership between the two Asian giants. Any positive development could potentially ease tensions along the Line of Actual Control.
