ISLAMABAD- Media Reports in China have confirmed that Indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi will not be invited to attend China’s upcoming National Dayparade. The event, which marks the anniversary of the founding of thePeople’s Republic of China, is one of Beijing’s most high-profile politicaland military displays.
Diplomatic sources suggest the decision reflects the strained relationsbetween the two Asian neighbors, particularly following border clashes andprolonged disputes along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). While leadersfrom several countries are expected to participate in the celebrations, NewDelhi’s exclusion is being interpreted as a clear signal of Beijing’sdissatisfaction with the current state of bilateral ties.
Analysts note that both nations have struggled to rebuild trust since thedeadly 2020 Galwan Valley incident. China’s latest move may furthercomplicate efforts at dialogue and reconciliation, while also highlightingthe broader geopolitical competition in the region.
