Xi Jinping Warmly Greets Putin and Modi at Security Summit

HeadlineSep 02, 2025

Chinese President Xi Jinping welcomed leaders of Asian nations to Tianjin for a regional summit on Sunday, warmly greeting Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as friends — and opposing what he called the “bullying” and “Cold War mentality” of the United States under President Trump. It was the first visit by Prime Minister Modi to China in seven years, signaling a thaw in relations between India and China. In a joint statement following the talks, members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization strongly condemned recent U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran. The group made no mention of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
