Prime Minister Narendra Modi will go to China to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit to be held this month. This will be PM Modi’s first visit to China after the clash between the forces of the two countries in Galwan, East Ladakh. The journey will be in view of efforts to improve bilateral relations from India and China.
PM Modi and Xi Jinping met last year
The SCO summit is to be held in China from 31 August to 1 September. The last meeting of PM Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping took place during the BRICS summit in Russia in October 2024. According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, leaders from more than 20 countries and prominent SCOs of 10 international organizations will participate in the summit and related programs.
PM Modi will visit Japan before China
PM Modi will visit Japan before participating in the SCO conference to be held in China. PM Modi will attend the annual summit with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on 30 August. PM Modi had earlier visited China in 2019. Important issues like business cooperation, terrorism, regional security and multilateral cooperation will be discussed.
PM Modi is visiting China at a time when America is constantly threatening India to increase the tariff. US President Donald Trump has claimed that BRICS is weakening the country dollars.
Trump threatened BRICS countries
Trump said last month, “BRICS was established to harm us and weaken our dollar. If this group ever comes up in a strong way, it will end very soon. This group is now rapidly weakening. Stirring the status of dollar will be like losing a world war. We will not let the dollar fall.”
Relationships deteriorated after Galwan Valley
India lost 20 of its soldiers in a clash with Chinese soldiers on 15 June 2020 in the Galwan Valley of East Ladakh. During the Galwan clash, Indian soldiers retaliated without arms under the current protocol. In this, the Chinese army also suffered a lot of damage, but it never confessed to public damage. After this, relations between the two countries started deteriorating.
