From Japan to the SCO
A New Wave of
Confidence in India
Amidst a challenging geopolitical landscape driven by economic interests,
India is not only at the heart of global diplomacy but also redefining its role.
This confidence in India was evident during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s
four-day foreign visit from August 29 to September 1. Japan announced its
largest-ever investment in India, while at the SCO summit in Tianjin, Prime
Minister Modi’s address was warmly received, and India’s efforts to highlight
cowardly terrorist acts such as the Pahalgam attack were reflected in the
declaration. Prime Minister Modi’s address at the SCO platform, representing
countries that account for over 40% of the global population and more
than 25% of global GDP, not only garnered global attention but further
strengthened India’s strategic autonomy.
