NEW DELHI: In his first major international engagements after re-election, PM Narendra Modi will have bilateral meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the SCO summit in Bishkek on June 13 and 14.This will be Modi’s first engagement with world leaders after taking over as Prime Minister for a second term. On the possibility of a meeting with Pakistani PM Imran Khan , who will also be present in Bishkek, official sources said no bilateral engagement was under consideration as of now. “Reports appearing in the media about a meeting between the Indian and Pakistani PMs are entirely speculative,” an official said.The possibility of a passing meeting, in an informal setting, may not be ruled out but no bilateral meeting has been scheduled yet. Official sources, however, said not inviting Khan for Modi’s swearing-in should not be seen as a snub as India had also not sent out invites to important neighbours and partners like Afghanistan and Maldives.Neither side seems willing at this stage to propose a structured dialogue between Modi and Khan in Bishkek. According to sources, while a handshake or a quick pull-aside can’t be ruled out, it’s unlikely that there will be a substantive dialogue.Despite the Pulwama terrorist attack and India’s response in the form of the Balakot air strikes, Modi and Khan have remained in touch in the past couple of months. Modi wrote to Khan on the occasion of Pakistan national day, saying the countries needed to work together in an atmosphere free of terror and violence.Khan responded a few weeks later, thanking Modi for his greetings and calling for the resumption of the dialogue process. The leaders also spoke about ties after Khan called Modi to congratulate him on his victory in the parliamentary elections with the Indian PM emphasising the need to tackle violence.Modi’s meeting with Xi will be significant as this will be their first engagement since China lifted its contentious hold on a UN ban on Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muhammed chief Masood Azhar. The meeting will take place at a time when the two countries are looking to finalise dates for another informal summit between Modi and Xi this year in India. The first such informal summit took place in Wuhan last year.In his congratulatory message, Xi said he wanted to work with Modi to guide the “development directions of the bilateral relations, enhance mutual political trust, expand pragmatic cooperation and promote closer developmental partnership between the two countries to a new height”.
