PM Modi at Shanghai summit today, will hold talks with Putin, likely to meet Xi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. This annual gathering, marking the SCO's 25th anniversary, brings together 10 member states, 15 dialogue partners, and two observers.
India, a member since 2017, prioritizes security, connectivity, and opportunity in its SCO vision. The Bishkek summit aims to address the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia, with the war in West Asia expected to be a focal point of discussions. India's participation in the SCO is also a test for its stance on terrorism, separatism, and extremism, with the hope of fostering peace and stability in the region.
