Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is preparing for his first visit to China in over seven years amid growing tensions with the US. During a phone call with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, India and Brazil discussed regional and global issues of mutual interest, particularly in response to US tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump. Russian President Vladimir Putin also held talks with India's National Security Adviser Ajit Doval at the Kremlin, stressing their commitment to a strategic partnership. Indian industry is concerned about the impact of the US tariffs, with chairman Sudhir Sekhri demanding fiscal support from the government as companies consider shifting manufacturing operations abroad.
