At the BRICS Summit in New Delhi, Chinese President Xi Jinping urged member countries to stand against breaches of national sovereignty and interference in other nations’ internal matters. His remarks were in light of the ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States, which he argued do not align with the broader interests of the global community. Xi emphasized China’s commitment to collaborating with other BRICS nations to foster peace and address the Middle East conflict.
President Xi’s call to action highlighted the bloc’s potential to contribute constructively to resolving international disputes while upholding the principles of sovereignty and non-interference. The summit, which focuses on trade, investment, and significant global conflicts, aims to bolster BRICS’s influence in representing the interests of emerging and developing economies.
The gathering in New Delhi brings together key leaders, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, among others from the BRICS group. This meeting occurs amidst ongoing global tensions, such as the Iran-US conflict, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and the persistent strains between the United States and China.
This summit marks Xi Jinping’s first visit to India since 2019, a significant step as China and India endeavor to improve bilateral relations following years of discord. During the summit, Xi and Modi are also set to engage in bilateral talks, aiming to address and mend past friction between their two nations.
