The meeting of the world's three major powers under the SCO Summit banner in China is making waves felt all the way to the U.S. As Indian Prime Minister Modi, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Russian President Putin convened, the U.S. Embassy in India released a crucial post. The timing and content of this tweet are decisive for India-U.S. relations.
The post by the U.S. Embassy in India noted that the partnership between the United States and India is reaching new heights, defining a pivotal relationship of the 21st century. The U.S. Embassy emphasized that it is the enduring friendship between our peoples that fuels this journey.
In the post, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the deep friendship between the people of India and the United States is the foundation of our relations.
The U.S. Embassy's tweet was sent right after the cordial meeting between Prime Minister Modi, President Xi Jinping, and President Putin in China on Monday morning. This gathering took place amid Trump imposing a hefty 50% tariff on India, with advisors and strategists speaking harshly against India.
The discussions in Tianjin between Modi, Putin, and Jinping are becoming significant talking points in the capitals of all countries affected by global politics and diplomacy. On Monday (September 1, 2025), during his address at the SCO, Prime Minister Modi asserted that keeping the aspirations of the Global South locked in outdated frameworks is a grave injustice to future generations. He boldly conveyed that the vibrant dreams of the new generation can't be displayed on an old black-and-white screen, necessitating a change in perspective.

Prime Minister Modi called for reforms at the United Nations, suggesting commencement during its 80th anniversary.
At the SCO, Prime Minister Modi also had a warm meeting with Russian President Putin. Both leaders arrived at the meeting venue in the same car.
Following this, the U.S. Embassy tweet cited the blossoming trade partnership with India, declaring, "The partnership between the United States and India continues to reach new heights — embodying a defining relationship of the 21st century. This month, we are highlighting the people, progress, and prospects propelling us forward. From innovation and entrepreneurship to defense and bilateral relations, it is the enduring friendship between our people that energizes this journey."
Further in the post, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated, "The lasting friendship between our people serves as the basis for our cooperation, inspiring us to move forward as we realize the enormous potential of our economic relations."
In his address at the SCO, Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a subtle message opposing 'unilateral dominance', 'cold war mentality', and 'bullying practices' without naming the U.S. He emphasized, "We should advocate for a multipolar world order that is orderly and beneficial for all, promoting inclusive economic globalization and making the global governance system more just and equal."
Echoing Xi Jinping's sentiments, Russian President Putin called for the development of a "new system" of security in Europe and Asia, presenting it as an alternative to Western-led alliances, which he has long opposed.
