India announced changes in relations with China after the SCO summit

After the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), relations between China and India have significantly changed and reached the partnership level. This was stated on September 5 by Gulshan Sadcheva, a professor at the Indian School of International Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University, at the session "Transforming the Architecture of Trade and Connectivity in a New Reality" at the Eastern Economic Forum 2025 (WEF 2025).

"In the last couple of years, we have seen some difficulties between India and China. But now, at the recent SCO summit, everything has changed dramatically. Moreover, the Indian Prime Minister has made it very clear that India and China are development partners, not real rivals," he said.

The professor noted that the consolidation of the states of the Global South has become a signal to the West that it is impossible to "push" these countries in any direction.

At the same time, the partnership between Russia, China, India and other parties will be mutually beneficial, Sadcheva concluded.

"The demand for energy resources in the Asia-Pacific countries is growing"
