PM Modi in China: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday received a rousing welcome from the Indian diaspora on his arrival in China’s Tianjin.
Members of the Indian diaspora welcomed the Prime Minister with great enthusiasm after he reached Tianjin after successfully concluding his two-day visit to Japan on Saturday.
He also shared some photographs of his welcome at the hotel by the Indian diaspora.
“China’s Indian community accorded a very special welcome in Tianjin. Here are some glimpses," he said in a post on X while sharing the photos.
At the hotel, members of the Indian community gathered to welcome him, while artists staged a cultural performance.
He also watched performances based on Indian classical music and dance. The performers are Chinese nationals who have been learning Indian classical music and dance for years now.

He landed at Binhai Airport in Tianjin for his two-day official visit and was greeted by senior Chinese and Indian officials.
PM Modi will participate in the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit on August 31 and hold bilateral talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines. He is also scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin during the course of the summit.
This is PM 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.
PM Modi’s visit to China came against the backdrop of US President Donald Trump’s recent tariff hike on Indian imports, which has damaged relations between the two democracies and forced New Delhi to explore other export destinations for products.
