Many issues, including defense and energy relations will be discussed (Social media)
National News: The two-day summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) has begun in Tianjin City, China. Amid the changing international circumstances, the entire world is keeping a close eye on this meeting. On the one hand, the economies of many countries are facing pressure; on the other hand, the tariff policy of US President Donald Trump has made the situation more complicated. At such a time, the coming together of India, China, and Russia on one platform is considered very important in terms of international politics and economy.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached China to participate in the conference. At the welcome ceremony, he was seen sharing the stage with the presidents of China and Russia. Today he is scheduled to hold bilateral talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Experts say that this discussion will not be limited to mutual relations only, but its message will go directly to America.
India and Russia have been close friends for a long time. The two countries have a strong partnership in the fields of defense and energy. In recent times, Modi and Putin have talked several times. Apart from bilateral relations, the Russia-Ukraine conflict can also be discussed in this meeting. It is also believed that Putin may visit India in December this year. His last visit was in 2021. After the meeting in Tianjin, Putin will also meet the presidents of Turkey and Iran.
Donald Trump has imposed heavy tariffs on goods from many countries, including India. India has to pay up to 50 percent tax on some products. This move has increased pressure on India's trade. The SCO conference is being considered as a platform of unity against Trump's policy. Experts say that India will no longer be dependent only on the American market and will look for new trade and investment opportunities with neighboring countries.
Border disputes and other differences between India and China have been there for a long time, but both countries want to open new avenues for trade and investment. Prime Minister Modi and President Xi Jinping met separately from the SCO meeting. In the talks, emphasis was laid on reducing the trade deficit, increasing investment, and giving a positive direction to the relations.
If India, China, and Russia strengthen economic and strategic cooperation, it can change the existing global system. The size of the population, production, and foreign reserves of the three countries is so large that together they can challenge the dominance of America. Although America is still the biggest trading partner for India, it has become a compulsion for it to look for new options in the changing circumstances. This is the reason why the SCO conference in Tianjin can prove to be a determinant of the direction of global politics in the coming times.
