All of India has been intently listening to PM <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword> over the past one year in the country, but now it is China’s turn. 
 
Modi, who is on a three-day visit to China, is leaving no possible opportunity to connect with the bureaucrats as well as nationals of China. And the speech that he gave today at the <keyword id="167708" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Tsinghua-University">Tsinghua University</keyword> just shows how he is leaving no stone unturned to encourage co-operation, trade and economy between India and China. 
 
While addressing the students of Tsinghua University on the second day of his three-day China visit, where he was accompanied by Foreign Minister Wang Yi and University President Qiu Yong, he said, “...a resurgent Asia was seeking a bigger voice in global affairs, emphasising that India and China were mulling a greater role in the world, be it in United Nations Security Council or the new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.” 
 
PM Modi’s decision to address the Chinese youth was a conscious one because he believes the ‘youth’ is the future of both the economies. 
 
To immediately connect with the audience, he chose to begin his speech in Mandarin and then didn’t stop until he conveyed a stronger message stating that 21st century would be the Asian century. He said, “The prospects of the 21st century becoming the Asian century will depend in large measure on what India and China achieve individually and what we do together. The rising fortunes of 2.5 billion pairs of joined hands will be of the greatest consequence for our region and the humanity.” 
 
The Indian premier went on to project India as a land of huge opportunities, saying the country had everything on offer, right from skills to manpower. 
 
“The aspirations of 800 million people in India, who are below the age of 35 years, in energy and skills would push India’s economic transformation to a new level,” said Modi. 
 
In a bid to engage better with China, Modi, in his signature style, connected proverbs of both the nations—and said that like China, India also believed in “wealth that increases by giving, wealth is knowledge and is supreme of all possessions.” 
 
He also picked up pieces from the history to emphasise on the stronger ties India and China have shared in the earlier centuries. 
 
His address would have sounded incomplete, had the man not pitched his ‘Make in India’ for once, and he did mention it without any inhibitions—despite knowing that China is itself the proverbial production hub of the world for almost a decade now. 
 
“During President Xi's visit last September, we set for ourselves a new level of ambition for our cooperation. Partnership in modernizing Indian railways, two Chinese industrial parks in India, commitments of 20 billion dollars in investments into India over the next five years partnership in our Make in India Mission: This is the shape of our future,” he expressed. 
 
Modi also spoke about the contentious border issue and took a tough stand on it while emphasising on the fact that these disagreement should not hamper relationships. 
 
“It is because neither side knows where the Line of Actual Control is in these areas. That is why I have proposed resuming the process of clarifying it. We can do this without prejudice to our position on the boundary question. We should think of creative solutions to issues that have become irritants - from visa policies to trans-border rivers,” he said. 
 Modi, who is in Beijing on second day of his three-day China visit, met his Chinese counterpart <keyword id="191503" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Li-Keqiang">Li Keqiang</keyword> earlier in the day and delegation of both the countries signed over 20 agreements, worth nearly $10 billion. 
 Indian PM landed in China on Thursday in Xi’an city, where he met Chinese President <keyword id="191809" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Xi-Jinping">Xi Jinping</keyword>. 
 
On Saturday, Modi will visit Shanghai and meet industrialists, and invite them to participate in ‘Make in India’ campaign. Sounds like a real ambitious plan, doesn’t it?

Modi’s Day in China today

Prime Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword>, who arrived in Xi’an for three-day China visit, met Chinese President <keyword id="191809" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Xi-Jinping">Xi Jinping</keyword>, who broke the protocol to meet the Indian premier. 
 
It was an unusual departure from the protocol as top Chinese leaders almost never go outside Beijing to meet guests on bilateral tours. As per experts, this was a sign of warming relations between the leaders of the South-Asian giants as Xi would be accompanying the Indian premier throughout his stay in Xi’an. 
 
This is Modi’s first tour to China since he was elected in May this year. 
 
Modi and Xi are expected to address a slew of issues when they sit down for delegation-level talks, including the border issue that has been a bone of contention between the two nations and China's plans for infrastructure projects in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. 
 
As per sources, China' stapled visas for people of Arunachal Pradesh will also be raised. 
 
China claims Arunachal Pradesh as part of southern Tibet, a stand firmly refuted by India. 
 
During his visit, Modi will also push for his 'Make in India' campaign, as he plans to turn India into a manufacturing hub. 
 
Earlier in the day, Modi visited the much famed Terracotta Army museum, which houses a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. 
 
He also paid a visit to Daxingshan Temple and saw translations of Buddhist sutras, which were brought by a monk to Xian from India thousands of years ago. 
 
Later in the evening, a banquet will be hosted by President Xi for Modi, before he flies to Beijing, where he will meet his Chinese counterpart Li Keqian. 
 
China's Ambassador to India, Le Yucheng, told a news channel that deals worth $10 billion were also expected to be signed during Indian PM's visit. 
 
When Xi had visited India last year in September, China had announced $20 billion in investments over five years, including setting up of two industrial parks.

Prime Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword> called for a closer security relationship between his country and the <keyword id="6356955" type="COUNTRY" weightage="100" keywordseo="united-states">United States</keyword> on Wednesday, in an address to the <keyword id="55355" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="US-Congress">US Congress</keyword> stressing the importance of the warm relationship between the two countries. 
 "The fight against terrorism has to be fought at many levels. And the traditional tools of military, intelligence or diplomacy alone would not be able to win this fight," Modi told a rare joint meeting of the Senate and <keyword id="141565" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="House-of-Representatives">House of Representatives</keyword>. 
 
"We have both lost civilians and soldiers in combating it. The need of the hour is for us to deepen our security cooperation," Modi said. 
 
In a speech interrupted by repeated applause, Modi did not mention India's neighbors Pakistan or China specifically, but said the deeper US-Indian security cooperation should isolate anyone who harbors, supports or sponsors terrorists, and separate religion from terrorism. 
 
With navigation in Asian waters, such as disputes over the South China Sea, a major regional concern, Modi said a stronger US-India partnership could boost peace and prosperity. 
 
"It can also help ensure security of the sea lanes and commerce and freedom of navigation on seas," Modi added. 
 
 He also stressed that India is committed to helping rebuild a peaceful and stable <keyword id="6354541" type="COUNTRY" weightage="100" keywordseo="afghanistan">Afghanistan</keyword>, even as he said he considers terrorism the biggest threat in Afghanistan as well as elsewhere in South Asia.

PM Narendra Modi calls for stronger US-India security relationship

Former president Donald Trump has said Prime Minister <keyword id="19895781" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="narendra-modi" source="keywords">Narendra Modi</keyword> will meet him next week during his upcoming three-day visit to the US. While the Republican presidential candidate slammed India as an "abuser" on the issue of import tariffs, he described Modi as a "fantastic man". PM Modi will be visiting the US from September 21 to 23. Speaking on Tuesday at his first public appearance following the recent apparent assassination attempt, Trump said Modi will meet him next week when he is in the US. "So when India, which is a very big abuser. He (Modi) happens to be coming to meet me next week, and Modi, he's fantastic. I mean, fantastic man. A lot of these leaders are fantastic," Trump said, reiterating that India imposes heavy tariffs on imports. The former president revealed the information as he spoke about trade and tariffs while responding to a question at a town hall meeting in Flint, Michigan. He went on to say, "These people are the sharpest people. They're not a little bit backwards...You know the expression, they're at the top of their game, and they use it against us. But India is very tough. Brazil is very tough....China is the toughest of all, but we were taking care of China with the tariffs." "So we're going to do a reciprocal trade. If anybody charges us 10 cents, if they charge us USD 2, if they charge us a hundred per cent, 250, we charge them the same thing. And what's going to happen? Everything's going to disappear, and we're going to end up having free trade again. And if it doesn't disappear, we're going to take in a lot of money," he said. Modi will begin his trip with the <keyword id="23214075" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Quad-Leaders-Summit" source="keywords">Quad Leaders' Summit</keyword> being hosted by President Joe Biden in Wilmington, Delaware. The summit will be attended by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of Australia and Prime Minister Kishida Fumio of Japan. Modi will then travel to New York and address a mega community event in Long Island on September 22. He will address world leaders at the landmark Summit of the Future event at the UN headquarters the next day. Modi's visit comes less than two months before the US heads into presidential elections with Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris in the race for the top job. The US general elections will take place on November 5.

 He was accorded a ceremonial welcome at Great Hall of People and met his Chinese counterpart <keyword id="191503" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Li-Keqiang">Li Keqiang</keyword>, from where they both proceeded for delegation-level talks and signing of agreements. 
 
India and China exchanged 20 agreements, including railways, education exchange programme, space cooperation, ocean sciences, etc. Deals worth $23 billion are expected to be signed between both the nations during Modi’s visit out of which $10 billion deals were signed today. 
 
While meeting Li, Modi stressed that China needed to reconsider its approach on some issues like border and its support to India’s rival Pakistan. 
 
However, he said that such issues should not hold both the countries back in realising full potential of the partnership. 
 
“We agreed that as we move ahead, we should be sensitive to each other's interests; strengthen mutual trust and confidence; continue to manage our difference with maturity; and, seek solutions to outstanding issues,” he said while making a statement. 
 
Having said that, both the South-Asian giants also sought to work together and help each other to emerge as powerful world economies. 
 
Later on, he is scheduled to address the first Forum of Leaders of the Regions of India and Beijing, which will be attended by Chief Ministers of Gujarat and Maharashtra. 
 Modi, who arrived in China on Thursday, met Chinese President <keyword id="191809" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Xi-Jinping">Xi Jinping</keyword> in the latter’s hometown, Xi’an, and worked out to enhance ties, despite years of mistrust. 
 
Both the nations face an array of issues, including border dispute and China’s backing to Pakistan. Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi urged Modi to work together to promote the international order in a fair direction. 
 
During his stay in Xi’an, Modi also visited Daxingshan Temple, Terracotta Army museum and Giant Wild Goose Pagoda.

Modi says this is the year of India and China

<ul class="summary-list"><li>In a move likely to anger the US, Modi is visiting Russia.</li><li>It signals strong ties between the two countries and shows that India is pursuing its own agenda.</li></ul>In a move likely to anger the US, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Russia on Monday for his first bilateral trip after winning a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/india-election-results-complicates-plans-unseat-china-modi-bjp-2024-6">historic third term</a> in office.Modi's two-day visit to Russia — where he is scheduled to meet with President Vladimir Putin — is significant in that it signals strong ties between New Delhi and Moscow. It also shows the world that India is not afraid to pursue its own agenda.Vinay Kwatra, India's foreign secretary, told reporters in New Delhi that issues between Russia and India have "piled up" and "need to be addressed," <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-07/putin-hosts-modi-after-hailing-best-in-history-ties-with-india-rival-china">Bloomberg reported</a>.Russia's relationship with India goes back to the Cold War, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businesstoday.in/india/story/rise-in-trade-with-russia-not-a-temporary-phenomenon-s-jaishankar-429969-2024-05-17">trade between the two countries</a> has grown since Russia started the war in Ukraine. <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/russian-oil-india-purchases-us-crude-wti-sanctions-ukraine-war-2024-3">India is a major buyer of Russian oil</a>. Russia is also India's biggest arms supplier.Kwatra underscored that the two countries' trade relationship has remained "resilient."Still, Modi's trip will "rankle many Western observers," Ved Shinde, a researcher and contributor to Australia's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/why-modi-will-go-moscow">Lowy Institute</a>, wrote in a note on Wednesday."Since the Ukraine war began, India's purchase of cheap oil from Russia has been seen as profiting from troubles in the heart of Europe," Shinde added.<h2 id="05696275-c92a-4ee6-84e4-fd193ca99db2">Modi's visit to Russia will make the US look bad</h2>Just like <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/vietnam-russia-putin-visit-us-wary-manufacturing-supply-chain-diplomacy-2024-6">Putin's visit to supply-chain hot spot Vietnam</a>, India's engagement with Russia isn't a good look for the US, as it comes while Washington is trying to isolate Putin.The US has raised "some concerns" about India's relationship with Russia with New Delhi, Kurt Campbell, the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.state.gov/special-online-briefing-with-deputy-secretary-of-state-kurt-m-campbell/">US deputy secretary of state</a>, said last month.However, Washington acknowledges that India's ties with Russia are different from its ties with the US."We have many areas of alignment, but it is not surprising that there would be areas where we've had perhaps different perspectives, views, historical ties," Campbell said about America's relationship with India.India, for its part, is looking to balance its relationship with the world's key powerbrokers: the US, Russia, and China."There are different degrees in India's multi-alignment. Make no mistake — the United States and its allies are more consequential for India's future than its relationship with Russia," Shinde wrote.India needs to leverage its historical ties with Russia to secure its economy and security, so Modi isn't just in Russia for a goodwill trip.<h2 id="c79db6fd-b57b-4ff5-8f16-bc16c77b8021">Reducing the trade imbalance</h2>A key agenda item for the visit is to reduce a huge bilateral trade imbalance, Kwatra said.India imports about $60 billion of goods a year from Russia, but Russia buys less than 10% of this amount from India, Bloomberg reported.Modi may also touch on China's activities in the Indo-Pacific region, Kwatra added.India is trying to manage its relationship with China, which has been testy since a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/india-china-border-clashes-could-cause-more-indian-ocean-activity-2020-7">border dispute in 2020</a>. Modi skipped the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Kazakhstan last week.There's also the matter of Russia's ties with China.At the summit last week, Putin said <a target="_blank" href="https://apnews.com/video/kazakhstan-china-government-russia-government-russia-5b1c1a8f402c400d8d703543b0562b51">Russia's relationship with China</a> is in the "best period in history."Modi now needs to cozy up to Putin to counter China's advances."The reason for the time-tested stability in India-Russia ties is to maintain a continental balance in the Eurasian heartland. That is, to balance China," Shinde wrote."Or to put it another way, don't go around making new adversaries when there are already two open fronts — China and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-and-china-pick-sides-in-tense-india-pakistan-rivalry-2022-3">Pakistan</a>," he added.

Modi's Russia visit shows India isn't worried about making the US mad

Despite tight schedule, Prime Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword> addressed members of Indian community in Seoul and highlighted how the ‘mood’ in India had changed from the day he took over and also elucidated what all measures he is taking to present the country as one of the major global players. 
 
Modi, who landed in Seoul on final leg of his three-day tour, played his development plank and said ‘development’ was a medicinal herb, which would solve India’s problems. 
 
Citing examples of how India helped Nepal in its distress and how India evacuated not only its nationals but people from other countries, including Pakistan, also from Yemen, Modi said that cooperation was rising among countries. 
 
The Prime Minister, who is known for his oratory skills, quoted poet Rabindranath Tagore, saying he said South Korea was ‘Lamp of the East’, and told the gathering about his Government’s ‘Act East Policy’. 
 
He looked for investments from Indian diaspora, saying they had equal rights on the country. “The extent to which Narendra Modi has a right over India, you too have the same right on the country,” he said. 
 
As Modi nears one year of completion of his office, he did not fail to praise his own Government among people, emphasising how the country had starting changing after 30 years. 
 
This time he chose to wore a band-gala suit for the event in contrast to other events in the past in different countries, where he is spotted wearing traditional kurta-churidaar to address Indian community. 
 
Mentioning about SAARC and BRICS, India said now was the time to emphasise on ‘I’, which had become strong in past one year. 
 After his address, Modi will meet South Korean President <keyword id="1193885" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Park-Geun-Hye">Park Geun-hye</keyword> and present his ‘Make in India’ initiative to South Korean chaebols, like Samsung, LG and Hyundai. 
 
He is expected to meet highest officials of the companies and lure them to do businesses in India. 
 
After winning the biggest mandate last year in May, Modi had vowed to cut red tapism and correct India’s ranking in ‘ease of doing business’, which slipped to 142. 
 
After arriving in the country, Modi laid a wreath at Seoul National Cemetery. He also received a rousing welcome by Indian diaspora and is scheduled to address 1,500 members of Indian community before meeting the President. 
 
India and South Korea look forward to boost bilateral trade, which stands at $16 billion. 
 
Globetrotting Modi wants to attract maximum investments in India. The Indian PM wants to invite countries for his various projects like smart cities, sanitation drive, clean Ganga campaign, among others. 
 
Modi started his tour with China and then visited Mongolia.

Modi’s act of self-praise, woos Indian diaspora in Seoul

NEW <keyword id="66" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Delhi">DELHI</keyword>: A face-off between the Indian and Chinese armies in Ladakh took the sheen off a summit that started on a promising note on the banks of the <keyword id="50476" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="sabarmati">Sabarmati</keyword> in Ahmedabad. 
 Insisting on a quick resolution of the boundary issue, PM <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword> made the border crisis the dominant topic of conversation with Chinese president <keyword id="191809" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Xi-Jinping">Xi Jinping</keyword>. “We need to have a clarification on [the] LAC to maintain peaceful relations between the two countries and solve the border dispute at the earliest,” Modi told the media.? 
 <keyword id="55212" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="xi">Xi</keyword> employed the now-familiar Chinese stalling tactic, saying he’d give the relevant orders to get a better picture of what exactly was happening. But the two sides showed just how far apart they are on this issue. In his statement, the PM focused on the border crisis. Xi merely touched on it towards the end of his statement, just to say that such incidents “happen”. 
 On the other hand, <keyword id="3658" type="COUNTRY" weightage="80" keywordseo="India">India</keyword> and China signed a record 16 agreements where <keyword id="1333" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Beijing">Beijing</keyword> promised investments worth $20 billion in five years, a very different figure from the $100 billion indicated by Chinese officials in Mumbai a few days ago. But India opened the doors to Chinese investment in infrastructure, including upgrading railway tracks, stations and doubling the speed of trains. 
 ?Xi said China would welcome India into the <keyword id="170281" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Shanghai-Cooperation-Organization">Shanghai Cooperation Organization</keyword>, but expects India to welcome it into SAARC. India may find this difficult. China in SAARC would effectively isolate India.? As a sweetener, China offered a new road to Kailash Mansarovar through Nathu La in Sikkim.? 
 
But Modi, like Manmohan Singh before him, made peace on the border a precondition to increased cooperation. Just as the Depsang crisis in April 2013, around 1,500 Indian and Chinese troops remain eyeball to eyeball. Officials hoped the Modi-Xi dialogue might have created the conditions for a withdrawal, even as NSA Ajit Doval personally monitored the border situation. 
 
 
 
Xi’s assertion that China was committed to “peaceful development” rang hollow when later on Thursday he embarked on a charm offensive addressing a select gathering of scholars, diplomats and politicians. 
 
The “China Dream” would be possible only in a “stable, peaceful external environment, Xi said. “China has the determination to work with India through friendly consultation to settle the boundary question at an early date.... We have the sincerity to work with India to maintain peace and tranquility in the border areas before we are finally able to settle the boundary question.” 
 <keyword id="46159" type="POSITION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Foreign-Minister">Foreign minister</keyword>, <keyword id="6355111" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Sushma-Swaraj">Sushma Swaraj</keyword> greeted Xi with “Ge xia, wo hen huanying nin dao yindu lai.” It was a part of the positive atmospherics that accompanied the Xi visit. The Chinese president reciprocated in full measure, when he quoted liberally from Rabindranath Tagore and showed his knowledge of Indian history. Modi spoke of a “new chapter”, a sentiment endorsed by Xi when he said India could look forward to a “spectacular future” under Modi.

Dressed in trademark white kurta pyjama and grey-coloured half-jacket, Modi was warmly received by the American lawmakers who interrupted his address more than 40 times to cheer him, a few times by standing. 
 
According to Sanjay Baru, who was the Media Advisor to <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=manmohan+singh&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Manmohan Singh</a>, Modi’s predecessor’s 2005 US Congrees speech was applauded 33 times.

In his 45-minute-long speech, he covered all major aspects of the growing relationship between India and the US, particularly mentioning strategic ties and civil nuclear cooperation and emphasized that the two countries should leave the 'constraints of the pasts' behind as the 'foundations of the future are firmly in place.' 
 
Here are six of his top quotes during his speech:

After his arrival, clad in a crisp white kurta and chudidaar, Modi visited the much famed Terracotta Army museum, which houses a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. 
 
The ‘Terracotta Warriors and Horses’ Museum, a UNESCO world heritage site, is a form of funerary art buried with the Emperor in 210–209 BC whose purpose was to protect the Emperor in his afterlife. 
 
The army was created to help the Emperor rule in the afterlife. Chinese records state that the site was discovered in 1974 by farmers digging a well.

Modi also signed the visitor’s book at the museum in which he wrote: “The Terracotta Army is a heritage of the world. It is a testimony to China’s civilizational achievements. I am deeply impressed by t he extraordinary care with which this precious heritage has been preserved.”

Later on, he also visited Daxingshan Temple and saw translations of Buddhist sutras, which were brought by a monk to Xian from India 
thousands of years ago.

The Indian Prime Minister is also scheduled to meet Xi later in the afternoon, in an unusual departure from the protocol as top Chinese leaders almost never travel outside Beijing to meet senior foreign guests on bilateral visits. 
 
Modi, who will be in China till May 16, will visit Beijing and Shanghai. 
 
Meanwhile, during his visit, Modi and Xi are expected to address the contentious border issue, which has been hampering negotiations since 13 years. 
 
China's Ambassador to India, Le Yucheng, told a news channel that deals worth $10 billion were also expected to be signed during Indian PM’s visit. 
 
When Xi had visited India last year in September, China had announced $20 billion in investments over five years, including setting up of two industrial parks.
