TIANJIN, Aug 31 \u2013 The leaders of China and India say there is now deepening trust between them after years of tension that includes a long-running border dispute.<\/p>\n
China\u2019s President Xi Jinping and Indian PM Narendra Modi met on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in the port city of Tianjin. It is Modi\u2019s first time in China in seven years.<\/p>\n
Xi told Modi that China and India should be partners, not rivals while Modi said there was now an \u201catmosphere of peace and stability\u201d between them.<\/p>\n
President Putin is also at the summit, attended by more than 20 world leaders, but this year overshadowed by trade wars with the US.<\/p>\n
President Trump has imposed steep tariffs on Indian goods as punishment for Delhi\u2019s continued purchase of Russian oil, and Putin faces threats of sanctions for his ongoing war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n
As the US-India relationship faces increasing headwinds, Modi is moving closer to Xi. Both countries are not only the most populous, but also have two of the biggest economies in the world.<\/p>\n
Modi announced that flights between India and China \u2013 suspended since deadly troop clashes on their shared Himalayan border in 2020 \u2013 would resume, without providing a timeline.<\/p>\n
Xi said that \u201cboth sides need to approach and handle our relationship from a strategic height and long-term perspective\u201d and that \u201cit is the right choice for both sides to be friends\u201d.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
