India’s Shift in Foreign Policy at SCO Summit
• Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to China for the SCO Summit signaled a shift in India’s foreign policy stance.
• This was the first bilateral engagement between Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping since the military standoff of 2020.
• The meeting approved the normalisation process initiated in October 2024, leading from troop disengagement along the LAC.
• The two sides agreed to fast-track the boundary resolution process and resumption of direct flights, visa facilitation, and economic ties to stabilize world trade.
• Modi committed to “taking forward ties based on mutual trust, respect and sensitivity”, while Xi called for the “Dragon (China) and the Elephant (India) to come together”.
• The Tianjin declaration included strong language against the “cross-border movement of terrorists”, condemning the Pahalgam attack and attacks in Balochistan against Pakistani forces.
• The SCO membership found common ground on contentious issues such as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and condemnation of U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.
