At the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin, India engaged in significant bilateral and multilateral talks. Prime Minister Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met to reset ties, strained since the 2020 Galwan clash, on the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations. Modi also met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, showcasing noticeable bonhomie. These meetings occurred as US President Donald Trump criticized India’s trade policies on Truth Social, claiming it’s a “totally one-sided relationship.” He alleged India offered to cut tariffs but said, “it’s getting late.”
