From August 31–September 1, PM Modi will travel to Tianjin, China, at the invitation of President Xi Jinping, to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit. This will be PM Modi’s first visit to China in seven years, underscoring the significance of the trip in the context of evolving regional and global dynamics.
