SCO Summit 2025: PM Modi reached China after 7 years, will attend SCO summit

SCO Summit 2025: The biggest summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is going to be held in Tianjin city of China from 31 August to 1 September 2025. This conference is considered very important in terms of global politics and regional security. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has reached Tianjin after a two-day visit to Japan, will participate in this summit on Sunday. During this, he will hold important meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and other global leaders.

Prime Minister Modi is on a visit to China after nearly seven years, giving this conference even more importance from a diplomatic point of view. This meeting can be an important step towards increasing cooperation on regional and global issues.

PM Modi's excitement: Shared information on X

After reaching China, Prime Minister Modi shared his enthusiastic reaction on the social media platform X. He wrote:

"I have just reached Tianjin. I am very excited about meaningful discussions and meeting leaders of different countries at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit."

His statement is an indication that India is ready to play an active and constructive role in this conference.

Why is this summit so important?

This summit is taking place at a time when there are many challenges at the global level. The Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars have affected global stability. Security tensions persist in South Asia and the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, the global trade war, especially led by the US, has further complicated international relations. Experts believe that America's current policies are straining its relations with many countries. In such a situation, this conference provides a golden opportunity for Chinese President Xi Jinping to establish himself as a global leader.

This platform of SCO provides an important opportunity to promote regional cooperation, security and trade. This conference will not only strengthen cooperation among member countries, but will also become a platform for in-depth discussion on global challenges.

SCO: Asia's influential forum

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) was founded in 2001 and currently has nine full-time member countries: China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Iran. In addition, Belarus, Afghanistan and Mongolia are observer countries. This organization plays an important role in the field of politics, security and trade in Asia. The influence of the SCO is increasing at the regional and global level, and this organization has become an important player in the global balance of power.

History of Modi-Jinping meeting

Prime Minister Modi and President Xi Jinping last met in October 2024 during the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia. During this, bilateral discussions were held between the two leaders, which was a positive step towards strengthening India-China relations. At the same time, Xi Jinping last visited India in 2019, when he had an informal meeting with PM Modi in Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu.

This meeting in Tianjin can be another step towards further strengthening the relations between India and China. Issues like trade, border disputes and regional cooperation between the two countries are likely to be discussed.

Future Prospects

The SCO summit is not only an opportunity to promote regional stability and cooperation, but it is also a platform to develop a collective approach to deal with global challenges. India, which is an active member in the SCO, will work towards further strengthening its strategic and diplomatic position through this platform.

This summit in Tianjin can prove to be an important event not only for the member countries of the SCO but for the entire world. This gathering of global leaders will not only deliberate on regional issues but will also open new avenues for global peace and cooperation.
