India Scores Diplomatic Breakthroughs at SCO: Pahalgam, China Reset, Trade|Vantage with Palki Sharma

At the SCO Summit in Tianjin, India delivered a measured but impactful diplomatic performance. It secured a joint condemnation of the Pahalgam terror attack—marking a shift in the group’s stance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi met President Xi Jinping, signalling a cautious reset in India–China ties amid unresolved tensions. On trade, Modi presented India’s sovereignty-first vision as an alternative to China’s Belt and Road model. With multiple bilaterals and quiet diplomacy, India positioned itself as a credible, democratic partner for the Global South—building trade alliances, pushing back against terrorism, and advancing its strategic autonomy on the world stage.
