It is a summit designed to challenge the West's historical dominance of the world –hosting the likes of Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.
On Sunday, China hosted the annual Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin, a grand meeting of the leaders of 26 nations, many of them opposed to the US and Europe.
Putin and Chinese president Xi, who are closely allied under what they have termed a 'limitless' partnership, also held side talks to discuss the Russian leader's recent meeting with Donald Trump, a Kremlin official said.
Xi personally welcomed several leaders, including Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Alexander Lukashenko, the president of Belarus, before the delegates attended a formal reception.
Xi said China-India ties could be 'stable and far-reaching' if both sides focused on viewing each other as partners. 'China and India are cooperation partners, not rivals,' he said.
Russia's claims over Ukraine after its invasion in 2022, as well as China's over Taiwan and fears it will invade, have isolated both countries from Western and other democracies.
The SCO is a ten-member bloc of Eurasian nations, which includes Iran, India and Pakistan.

Covering his bets, as any good leader should do.
Putin Xi and Modi.
Kori is a corrupt Asian asshole.
Modi not Kori.
Asian butthole club.
India wants to be everyone's buddy, and nobody's friend.
This is the triumvirate of enemies we should keep closer; it's as if Barzini, Moe Greene, and Hyman Roth were all meeting in Chicago under the protection of Don Brandon Johnson.
Who is Kori?
Spell corrected modi to Kori.
I am so chilled….
I’m sure their friendship will last a thousand years.
lol!
I dont think India is loyal to anybody and serves itself however it can.
India is Mexico times 20.
Indians are slimy two faces. Modi is a weasel, and if we have any sense we send back all the invader street shitters. Enough.
I’ve been sucking my thumb with fear.
The only one missing was the “B” for Brazil.
Modi insulted Trump by not attending his rally in September 2024 and Trump wants Modi out - Modi is running to China for help to hold on to power.
Yes. A socialist asshole.
