India’s Global Rise on Display: PM Modi Shares Stage with Putin and Xi – Pakistan Left Watching

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): The ongoing SCO Summit in Tianjin, China, witnessed intriguing moments of global diplomacy today. While Indian PM Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Chinese President Xi Jinping shared warm exchanges, Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif appeared isolated and sidelined.

On Monday, during a key moment that caught international attention, PM Modi and President Putin were seen walking and talking together with evident camaraderie. Their body language reflected a strong and friendly bond. Meanwhile, PM Sharif stood alone in a corner, hands folded, watching them with a seemingly wistful expression. No other leaders were seen engaging with him.

This striking visual spoke volumes about India's rising stature on the global stage and Pakistan’s diplomatic marginalization. Earlier in the day, PM Modi, President Putin, and President Xi were also seen in informal discussions, one of the summit's most defining images.
