At the BRICS Summit in New Delhi, Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of respecting national sovereignty and warned against interference in the internal affairs of other nations. He highlighted the Iran-United States conflict as an example of a situation that does not align with the common interests of the global community. Xi’s remarks underscored China’s commitment to working with other BRICS countries to promote peace and stability, particularly in the Middle East.
The summit, which brings together leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, is focusing on issues such as trade, investment, and significant global conflicts. With the backdrop of the Iran-US tensions, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and persistent disputes between the United States and China, the BRICS countries aim to reinforce their position as representatives of emerging and developing economies.
President Xi called on BRICS to take a proactive role in international dispute resolution and to uphold the principles of sovereignty and non-interference. His appeal comes as the bloc seeks to enhance its influence on the global stage amid rising geopolitical challenges. The meeting features key figures such as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, all of whom are gathering to discuss these critical issues.
This summit marks Xi’s first visit to India since 2019, signaling a potential thaw in relations between Beijing and New Delhi after a period of heightened tensions. During the summit, Xi and Modi are set to engage in bilateral discussions, which could pave the way for improved relations between the two neighboring countries.
