Pakistan PM Shahbaz Sharif Watches As PM Modi, Vladimir Putin Walk Past At SCO Summit | Read

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday engaged in a warm exchange with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin, China-- a moment that drew global spotlight for its strong geopolitical implications, especially as President Donald Trump ratchets up trade tensions with New Delhi.

Photographs and videos from Tianjin showed visible camaraderie among the three heavyweight leaders, while several world leaders observed them from the sidelines. In one of the videos going viral from the summit, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was seen looking on with a grim expression as Prime Minister Modi engaged in an animated informal chat minutes ahead of the plenary session in Tianjin.

This came after PM Modi was seen standing several places apart from Sharif in the first family photo from the summit.
