PM Modi to visit China amid Trump tariffs
PM Modi is visiting China after many years because after the border dispute in the year 2020, the relations between the two countries became bitter, although after the meeting of the top leaders of the two countries last year, the relations started improving. PM Modi's visit to China is another important step in that direction. PM Modi's visit to China is taking place at a time when US President Trump is constantly engaged in tariff attacks.
Trilateral visit possible between India-China-Russia
PM Modi last shared the same stage with Xi and Putin at the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia last year, even as Western leaders turned their backs on the Russian leader amid the war in Ukraine. Russian embassy officials in New Delhi said last week that Moscow hopes to hold trilateral talks with China and India soon.
