WATCH | World Leaders Receive Traditional Chinese Welcome at Tianjin Airport as They Arrive for SCO

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and a host of global leaders have arrived in Tianjin, China, for the highly anticipated Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit. The two-day event, hosted by Chinese President Xi Jinping, brings together more than 20 participating nations, representing nearly half the world’s population. Among the key figures attending are Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, and Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly. UN Secretary-General António Guterres is also present. The SCO, a growing Eurasian political and security bloc, is expected to focus on regional stability, energy cooperation, trade, and the future of a multipolar global order. Modi’s visit — his first to China since 2018 — comes amid improving ties with Beijing and recent diplomatic outreach, including a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ahead of expected talks with Putin. All eyes are on Tianjin as high-stakes bilateral talks unfold on the sidelines, setting the tone for future global alignments. #SCO2025 #Modi #Putin #XiJinping #TianjinSummit #SCOChina #IndiaChina #RussiaChina #Geopolitics #WorldLeaders #ShanghaiCooperationOrganization #BreakingNews #MultipolarWorld #GlobalSummit
