PM Modi shares stage with Xi, Putin at SCO Summit in China’s Tianjin
Tianjin: Prime Minister Narendra Modi was seen in the front row alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin as world leaders posed for the customary family photograph at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Tianjin, China, on Sunday.
The host, Xi Jinping, stood at the centre of the photo, accompanied by his wife Peng Liyuan to the left and Putin to the right.
PM Modi appeared in the front row with Xi, Putin, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Maldives’ Mohamed Muizzu, and Pakistan’s Shehbaz Sharif, among others.
This was the first time Modi and Sharif were seen together on the same platform since India’s Operation Sindoor precision strikes.
Ahead of the summit, Xi and his wife hosted a banquet in the port city to welcome international delegates for the 25th edition of the annual gathering.
Along with SCO members — China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Iran, and Belarus — the summit is also being attended by Observer States, Dialogue Partners, invited guests, and representatives of international organisations, including the United Nations, ASEAN, and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
PM Modi is on a two-day visit to China, his first in seven years, during which he is also scheduled to hold bilateral talks with Putin, against the backdrop of new US tariff measures announced by President Donald Trump.
