PM Modi in China LIVE Updates: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in Tianjin, China, to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit after successfully concluding his two-day visit to Japan on Saturday.
This is Prime Minister Modi’s first visit to China after seven years, in a push for a reset in diplomatic relations that were strained since the Galwan Valley clash in 2020. All eyes would be on Prime Minister Modi’s meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the SCO Summit, which will be held from August 31 to September 1.
PM Modi’s closely-watched visit in China came against the backdrop of US President Donald Trump’s recent tariff hike on Indian imports that has damaged relations between the two democracies and forced New Delhi to explore other export destinations for products.
Earlier in the day, PM Modi, accompanied by his Japanese counterpart, Shigeru Ishiba, arrived in Sendai from Tokyo on a bullet train. He described his visit to Japan as memorable and highly productive, emphasizing that the outcomes of the trip will bring meaningful benefits to the people of both India and Japan.
“This joint visit by Prime Minister Modi and Prime Minister Ishiba also underscored the shared vision of India and Japan to develop robust, resilient and trusted semiconductor supply chains,” the Indian government said in a statement.
