Indiens Regierungschef Narendra Modi wird nach Angaben seines Sicherheitschefs Ende August erstmals seit 2018 nach China reisen. Peking messe dem Besuch Modis nach den Worten des chinesischen Außenministers Wang Yi eine "große Bedeutung" bei.

Overview

  • National security adviser Ajit Doval said Narendra Modi will attend the SCO summit opening in Tianjin on August 31, his first trip to China since 2018.
  • Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is on a multi‑day visit to India and was slated to meet Modi on Tuesday, with Beijing calling the planned trip of great significance.
  • Negotiations during Wang’s visit focus on easing the border standoff that followed deadly 2020 clashes, including potential troop reductions and the resumption of suspended cross‑border trade.
  • Indian media reported that Wang told Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar Beijing would address Indian needs for fertilisers, rare earths and tunnel‑boring machines.
  • Analysts and reports link the cautious thaw to wider trade and geopolitical pressures, including new U.S. tariff measures on Indian goods, while concrete outcomes from the talks have yet to be announced.
