President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping and Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi agreed to further strengthen cooperation between the two countries within the framework of the SCO summit, which began in Tianjin. According to Bloomberg, during the conversation, the parties emphasized the importance of deepening regional stability and strategic dialogue.
Xi Jinping said that China and India - two ancient civilizations - will take responsibility for updating the strategies of human development. According to him, "China and India should maintain good neighborly and friendly relations, support each other in leading to success, that is, the dragon and the elephant should unite." The leader of Beijing also considered it necessary to approach the Beijing-New Delhi relations from a strategic and long-term perspective.
Narendra Modi supported these views and noted that bilateral relations should be built on the basis of mutual respect and trust. Statements in this spirit demonstrated the parties' readiness to expand cooperation in practical areas.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit began today in Tianjin. The President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev is also participating in the conference. It is expected that high-level dialogues within the framework of the summit will contribute to the development of peace, open trade corridors, and transport and logistics connectivity in Central and South Asia and the wider Eurasian space. In short, the synchronized march of the "dragon and elephant" could give new impetus to neighborly diplomacy.
