By Editor • September 7, 2026 • 1 min read
In the lead-up to his anticipated summit with Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping is intensifying his global diplomatic engagements. With just over two weeks remaining until their meeting, Xi has embarked on one of his most active periods of foreign travel in recent years.
Recently, he concluded his participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, where regional security and economic cooperation were key topics. Following this, Xi made a significant state visit to Egypt, further solidifying ties with a key partner in Africa.
Looking ahead, Xi is poised to travel to New Delhi for the upcoming Brics summit later this week. Although Beijing has yet to officially confirm these upcoming trips, this pattern of diplomatic outreach underscores Xi's strategic efforts to enhance China's influence on the global stage before meeting with Trump in Washington.
