At the BRICS Summit held in New Delhi, Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of respecting national sovereignty and discouraging interference in the internal matters of other nations. He pointed out that the ongoing conflict between Iran and the United States is not beneficial for the international community as a whole. Xi highlighted China’s commitment to collaborating with other BRICS members to foster peace and aid in resolving the Middle East conflict.
Xi called on the BRICS bloc to assume a constructive role in settling global disputes while upholding the principles of sovereignty and non-interference. The summit, which focuses on trade, investment, and significant global conflicts, aims to bolster the representation of emerging and developing economies through the BRICS alliance. The meeting serves as a platform for these countries to address crucial international issues.
The gathering includes leaders such as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, among others. It occurs amidst the backdrop of several significant global tensions, including the Iran-US conflict, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and escalating frictions between the United States and China. These issues underscore the urgent need for dialogue and cooperation at the summit.
This visit marks Xi Jinping’s first trip to India since 2019, as both Beijing and New Delhi seek to mend and improve bilateral relations that have experienced strains in recent years. In addition to participating in the summit, Xi and Modi are expected to engage in bilateral discussions, aiming to address and resolve outstanding issues between their two nations.
