00:00Hello and welcome to this special broadcast on Bon India.

00:03Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in China and the important meeting between the Chinese President,

00:09the Russian President and Prime Minister Modi is something that is hogging the limelight.

00:13Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to China, his first in seven long years,

00:18comes at a delicate and potentially transformative moment in India and China's relations.

00:23Scheduled to meet President Xi Jinping in Tianjin, ahead of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit,

00:31this particular meeting signals a renewed effort by both the nations to stabilize the ties that have been under strain

00:39since 2020 Galwan clashes that happened and put both the nations on tenterhooks.

00:46This will be the second meeting between Narendra Modi and Xi Jinping in less than a year,

00:50following their interaction at the BRICS summit in Kazan.

00:55Unlike earlier encounters, this conversation carries both a symbolic and strategic weight.

01:00Symbolic because the meeting coincides with the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties between India and China

01:07and strategic because the global landscape has shifted dramatically with India's trade disputes with the United States,

01:14tensions over Russian oil and the pressing need for cooperation.

01:19The Shanghai Cooperation Organization itself provides a multilateral umbrella for this engagement

01:26and as a block, the SCO represents nearly half the world's population and vast economic potential.

01:33For India and China, cooperation here is more than ceremonial.

01:37It is about demonstrating that even amid unresolved border tensions,

01:41the two Asian giants can come together to shape the continental stability, connectivity and trade that is the need of the hour.

01:50Within this framework, the Russia-India-China or the RIC grouping assumes special importance.

01:56For decades, RIC has been seen as a balancing mechanism against Western dominance.

02:01With Moscow now ever more dependent on Beijing after the Ukraine war,

02:08India's participation ensures that RIC does not tilt entirely towards Chinese priorities.

02:14A Modi-shi understanding could therefore help revive the credibility of this trilateral mechanism

02:20where cooperation on energy, infrastructure and security can benefit all three nations.

02:25For India, this visit is a cautious effort but a necessary step.

02:31Officials in New Delhi have been careful not to overplay the bilateral aspect,

02:35framing it as a natural engagement with the host country during a multilateral summit.

02:40Yet the significance cannot be ruled out.

02:43The recent Duval-Wang-Yi talks produced a 10-point consensus on border management

02:48and even opened the doors of exploring an early harvest on boundary delimitation.

02:55If leaders stamp approval on these steps,

02:57it could create a pathway towards gradual de-escalation along the line of actual control

03:02where tens of thousands of troops remain deployed from both sides on the border.

03:08Ultimately, this meeting is not expected to produce dramatic breakthroughs.

03:12But given the fact that China's role and association with Pakistan

03:17and latest Operation Sindhu that India carried out against Pakistan,

03:22these two scenarios might also come up as one of the reasons

03:26how both the countries can meet midway, India and China.

03:30It can reset the tone for sure.

03:32By emphasizing step-by-step confidence, building, reviving people-to-people links

03:37and strengthening economic ties, Modi's visit could mark the beginning of a slow but steady thaw.

03:44And in the larger Asian and global context,

03:47that makes this trip to China after seven years not just significant but a historic one.
