Prime Minister Narendra Modi held bilateral talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Tianjin on August 31, 2025, during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit marking his first visit to China in seven years. The meeting comes as both nations seek to mend relations frozen after deadly Himalayan clashes five years ago, now thawing under Washington's economic pressure. Key outcomes include border management agreements, resumption of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, and restoration of direct flights. Modi emphasized that India-China relations will progress through mutual trust, respect, and sensitivity. The meeting signals both nations' strategic response to US trade policies and their desire to compartmentalize economic cooperation from border disputes.
