Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit at the end of August. It follows his meeting China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi in New Delhi this week.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday that India-China relations had made steady progress since his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in October, guided by respect for each other's interests and sensitivities.

India and China are aware of the “very high political, economic and military cost of frozen relations,” he says. “China felt it had pushed India too close to the U.S. while India realized that it was losing its vaunted strategic autonomy by getting too close to Washington and turning Beijing into an adversary.”
