SCO Summit LIVE Updates: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet here on Sunday, their first in about ten months, for wide-ranging talks aimed at improving relations.
The meeting holds significance in light of a recent downturn in India-US relations, based on Washington‘s policies on trade and tariffs. Modi and Xi will meet on the sidelines of the two-day Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit beginning Sunday. Considering the scope of issues for discussion, official sources indicated that they could meet again later in the day, reported news agency PTI.
The SCO summit will begin with an official banquet hosted by Xi on Sunday. Twenty foreign leaders are attending the SCO Plus summit being organised by China, which is this year’s rotating chair of the 10-member bloc comprising Russia, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Belarus and China.
