PM Modi meets Chinese Communist Party leader Cai Qi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Chinese Communist Party leader Cai Qi, an effort to improve ties at governmental, political, and people-to-people levels. The discussions focused on maintaining peaceful borders and enhancing trade, with the Indian Prime Minister noting that "when India and China move together it's not just 1.4 billion people but 2.8 billion people." This engagement comes in a complex geopolitical context, following the Prime Minister's visit to Japan, which is seen as a strong strategic signal. The broadcast explores the India-Japan partnership, covering investments, labour mobility, and defence cooperation, as a counterbalance to China's growing military and regional influence. The central questions remain whether China truly believes in a multipolar Asia and how it intends to move forward on the border issue.
