Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged a brief handshake at the SCO summit in Bishkek on Tuesday. The interaction appeared more formal than their warmer meeting at the Tianjin summit in 2025. The two leaders did not hold a formal bilateral meeting in Bishkek. The next possible meeting could take place at the BRICS summit in New Delhi later this month. India and China have improved some diplomatic and people-to-people ties since their 2024 border disengagement agreement. However, border issues along the Line of Actual Control remain a key concern for India.
