PM Modi Arrives In China, First In 7 Years As India Resets Ties Amid US Tariff Tension

<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday arrived in China, where he will attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tiajin. He will also hold bilateral talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, who will also attend the summit.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The visit, a first in seven years, comes as India resets its ties with China amid 50 tariffs slapped by the US on Indian imports. India-China relations plunged after the deadly clashes between Indian and Chinese troops along the border in Galwan Valley in June 2020.&nbsp;</p>
