Modi, Xi, Putin meet at SCO Summit in Tianjin, China
Prime Minister Modi will also sit with President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin in Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Tianjin, China.
A New Chapter for Global Diplomacy
The Prime Minister Narendra Modi visit to China to participate in the summit of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is essential. He also has a topic of interest by his meeting with Chinese President, Xi Jinping and even the Russian President, Vladimir Putin. The Tianjin gathering is technically far more than a second summit as its augers potential re-aligning of the world power equations. Emerging power India is diligently re-asserting its role in a world of emergent bloc. This is where the practical must take place and not ideological puffing.
The India-China relation has been under tension over the borders in a span of years. The freezing time was created by the Galwan confrontations of 2020. However, it seems that the traces of recent diplomatic endeavors are to warm that ice. The meeting of Modi and Xi is the biggest thing and a heavy load following a long distance of seven years. The two leaders will address such a broad subject of controversy as trade and border stability. This is how to normalize a critical relationship. The peaceful coexistence between the two most populated states in the world could have a prospective bearing on world peace and success through their stable condition. The two countries should also focus on finding reasons for common benefiting.
Another complication and significance of the situation is Russian President Vladimir Putin. India also enjoys a long-term relationship with Russia. This relationship has been proved in the world in recent events. However, India is changing in its own style. This can indeed be true, and the negotiations between the two on Ukraine conflict have been centered on its situational and financial impacts. India has insisted that they need to resolve the conflict by dialogue and diplomacy. Its refusal to accept the western sanctions against Russia is an indication of a foreign policy. This SCO meeting gives a platform through which the leaders can coordinate on common issues.
A shift to Multi polar Paradigm
SCO summit in Tianjin depicts a vivid image of a global minus one major superpower. It displays a wide range of countries that interact on their conditions. This new reality is also evidenced by the presence of leaders of Central Asia, Middle East, and South Asia. The SCO is gaining more acceptability as an opposition to US-instigated structures. In this summit, the members are able to promote a fresh form of international relationships grounded in mutual respect and equality of collaboration.
Biased foreign policy towards India by charge of its recent tariffs being imposed by the United States has certainly influenced the United States of foreign policy. It is these tariffs that were applied in reaction to an Indian energy trade with Russia and have then been reacted to with a pause that has caused likelihood of a diplomatic reset to be made with Beijing. They emphasize the fact that India was not going to bow to the foreign pressure pressurizing it to abandon its fundamental national interests. Instead, India wants to diversify its relationships and build a more resolute economic and political system. The deliberations with President Xi and President Putin embody this prudent strategy. India also shows that it has an ability of balancing various great powers.
The peak is also preoccupied with practical results. The leaders will address the strengthening of regional interaction in the sphere of trade, security and connectedness. They attempt to solve common security threats, e.g. terrorism. India on its part will be pleased to recommend a more thorough method of these problems. Although it is also not very probable that any meaningful breakthrough could be implemented, the symbolic value of the summit will be the most important. It is an invitation to discuss and willingness to work together on multi-layered issues. The international community will be looking at how these strong nations will be able to redevelop the course followed by the world States in the governance. This time action must follow. The executives are expected to live up to their cooperation. It is not a vein work of rhetoric that tries to create a better place to live in all around in the future.
