At the SCO Summit in Tianjin, India delivered a measured but impactful diplomatic performance. It secured a joint condemnation of the Pahalgam terror attack—marking a shift in the group’s stance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi met President Xi Jinping, signalling a cautious reset in India–China ties amid unresolved tensions. On trade, Modi presented India’s sovereignty-first vision as an alternative to China’s Belt and Road model.
