During a recent summit in China, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Xi Jinping, and President Vladimir Putin emphasized their commitment to partnership, asserting that India and China are not rivals. The meeting aimed to showcase unity among the leaders in response to the challenges posed by U.S. tariffs under President Trump. As both India and China look to resolve longstanding border disputes, the summit also served as a platform for discussing broader regional collaboration, with a focus on the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and a vision for a new global order. Analysts noted the significance of this gathering in light of rising tensions in global trade and politics, highlighting the strengthening ties between these nations as a potential counterbalance to U.S. influence.
