SCO Summit in China: Modi’s Visit and the Dynamics of Global Power

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in the 25th Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin, China. This visit is Modi’s first to China in seven years and will be held on August 31st and September 1st. The event is seen as a crucial diplomatic opportunity for India amid current international changes. The summit, hosted by President Xi Jinping, will bring together leaders from various regions, including Central, South, West, and Southeast Asia. It will be the first time in a year that Modi will be seen with Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The summit is expected to be a chance for China to demonstrate solidarity among Global South countries, support Russia, and increase its international influence. For India, the summit comes at a time when efforts are underway to improve relations with China after recent border issues. Experts believe this event could provide a chance to restore trust, reduce tensions, and enhance cooperation. The summit could represent the emergence of a multipolar world order, in which India’s role becomes ever more complex.
