China Welcomes Modi’s Visit for SCO Summit in Tianjin After 7 Year Gap

TIANJIN, CHINA, AUG 8 – The SCO Summit in Tianjin is expected to be the largest ever, with over 20 countries attending and aims to improve strained India-China ties since the 2020 Galwan clash.

  • China welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s participation in the Tianjin SCO Summit, which will be held from August 31 to September 1.
  • Modi’s upcoming visit follows the sharp deterioration of India-China relations after the eastern Ladakh border standoff in May 2020 and the June 15, 2020 Galwan Valley clash.
  • Spokesperson Guo Jiakun said the summit aims to foster 'solidarity, friendship and fruitful outcomes', with over 20 countries and 10 international organisations attending.
  • Renewed diplomatic initiatives include Kailash Mansarovar Yatra and discussions to restart direct flight services between India and China, with all facts confirmed.
  • Later this month, Modi will visit Japan on August 30 to meet Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba before the SCO summit, where observers will watch for a potential thaw in India-China relations.
