Modi will also meet Chinese President Xi Jinping later in the day, during this meeting Modi agenda will be to seek China’s support for India’s membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).

China has already given clear indications of its opposition to India’s bid for NSG and China already stated that parties are yet to see eye-to-eye on this issue.

Modi’s visit to Tashkent will play a constructive role in the discussions and he already said that he is looking forward to the fruitful outcome from its engagement at the SCO summit.

India’s entry into Shanghai Cooperation Organisation  as a full member will earn it an opportunity to extend cooperation with member countries in areas of defence, security and counter-terrorism.
