During the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping extended a formal welcome to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This meeting followed their earlier discussions in Tianjin, occurring amidst a backdrop of global tensions, particularly due to tariffs from the United States and the ongoing strain in China-US relations.
Significance of Modi's Visit
Prime Minister Modi's arrival in China marks his first visit in seven years, coinciding with the SCO summit held over two days in Tianjin. This visit is particularly significant as it follows the Galwan Valley incident.
Warm Reception from the Indian Community
Upon his arrival, Modi received a warm welcome from the Indian diaspora, who chanted slogans such as 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram'. He later participated in a cultural event featuring captivating performances by Chinese artists on traditional Indian instruments, including the sitar, santoor, and tabla.
