At the SCO Summit in Tianjin, China, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif appeared sidelined as Indian PM Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin shared a visibly warm exchange. Viral videos showed Modi chatting animatedly with Putin ahead of the plenary session, while Sharif stood nearby with a grim expression. In the official family photo, Modi was positioned several places away from Sharif. Modi later posted photos with Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, highlighting “exchanging perspectives” and calling his meeting with Putin “a delight.” The moment unfolded amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions following the April Pahalgam terror attack, which India blamed on Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba offshoot, The Resistance Front.
