From SCO Hall to Aurus Limo: Modi and Putin Put Bonhomie on Display in Tianjin

New Delhi: On the final day of his China visit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appeared from public visuals to be constantly in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s company – clasping hands in the SCO summit hall, chatting for an hour inside a Russian armoured limousine and then sitting down for another hour of formal talks.

The images were aimed at more than one audience: the White House and television channels back home.
