"China’s leader, Xi Jinping, welcomed India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to China in a high-profile, potentially world-order-shifting visit.
Modi went to China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, which is one of a number of important world groups that do not include the West. Along with BRICS, an international organization comprising the governments of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and others, it is a key platform for both China and India to showcase their influence.
Modi arrived in China amid growing tensions with the United States. President Trump's administration officials appear to be progressively giving India a cold shoulder. This was Modi's first visit to China in seven years."

"TIANJIN, China -- Chinese President Xi Jinping said China would accelerate the building of a SCO development bank at the annual summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Tianjin on Monday, as he seeks to expand the organization's influence and scope.
“Currently, as the global situation becomes more complex and turbulent, member states are facing more arduous safety and development responsibilities,” Xi said in opening remarks to the forum. Xi pledged $1.4 billion in loans in the next three years for members of the SCO, not specifically designated for this new bank.
Xi, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of a few dozen nations are meeting as part of the SCO. The group, originally seen as a foil to U.S. influence in Central Asia, has grown in size and influence over the years, but remains largely a security forum.
With the addition of the bank and an emphasis on providing loans, Xi is attempting to expand the scope of the organization."
