November 5, 2025: Jagannath Panda, Head of the Stockholm Center for South Asian and Indo-Pacific Affairs, was quoted by Anadolu Ajansı on the Trump-Xi meeting as a ‘good beginning’ for future relations.
“Trump and Xi’s meeting has been a good beginning for US-China bilateral ties,” said Jagannath Panda “It has opened a gateway for their bilateral negotiation and to be a continuous negotiation channel, from here on.”
But he cautioned against premature optimism, suggesting the outcome of the first meeting should not necessarily be seen as “positive or productive.”
