PM Modi in China with World Leaders at SCO Summit 2025
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was seen sharing the stage with prominent world leaders at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit held in China, marking a significant moment in India's growing diplomatic outreach. The summit, which brought together heads of state from key Eurasian countries, offered a platform for multilateral discussions on regional security, economic cooperation, and connectivity.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi stood shoulder to shoulder on Sunday for the customary ‘family photo’ of the SCO Summit with global leaders that included Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu, and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, among others, in Tianjin, China.
Strengthening Regional Partnerships
India’s full membership in the SCO since 2017 has enabled it to play a growing role in Eurasian affairs. At the summit, PM Modi emphasised the importance of mutual respect, regional stability, and economic connectivity. He reiterated India’s commitment to initiatives like the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), which aims to boost regional trade links.
Balancing Diplomacy Amid Tensions
While India maintains strained relations with some member nations, such as China and Pakistan, the summit offered a vital platform for dialogue and diplomacy. Modi's participation signalled India’s intent to engage constructively even in complex environments, advocating for sovereignty, peace, and cooperation.
A Symbol of Strategic Engagement
The image of PM Modi with fellow leaders at the summit was more than a photo-op — it was a visual testament to India's evolving role in shaping a multipolar world. As global alliances shift, India continues to assert its voice on major international platforms with confidence and clarity.
