He said, "Our cooperation will not only benefit our countries but the entire humanity. We will further strengthen our relations on the basis of mutual trust, respect and sensitivity." President Xi also congratulated the successful chairmanship of the SCO and called this new beginning a historic step.

Impact on America

This meeting had the biggest impact on America's strategy. The US considered India an important strategic partner to reduce China's influence in the Asia-Pacific region. The formation of the Quad and strong relations with India were part of this strategy of America. However, this diplomatic friendship between India and China has challenged America's Taiwan policy and regional influence. Better relations between India and China have weakened America's strategic hold.

Due to India and China's proximity

In recent years, the US imposed heavy tariffs on countries like China, India, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and Japan. Notably, the US imposed a 50% tariff on India, which included an additional 25% tax for buying oil from Russia. Instead of succumbing to this pressure, India responded diplomatically and strategically. PM Modi challenged the US strategy by taking steps towards improving relations with China. This is part of India's strong and independent foreign policy, which strategically stunned the US.
