During a pivotal address at the BRICS Summit in New Delhi, Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of respecting national sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of nations. He highlighted that the ongoing conflict between Iran and the United States fails to align with the broader interests of the global community. Xi’s comments underscore China’s commitment to working with BRICS nations to foster peace and address Middle Eastern tensions.
President Xi encouraged the BRICS group, comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, to take an active role in resolving international disputes by upholding the principles of sovereignty and non-interference. The summit, which is centered on trade, investment, and significant global conflicts, aims to fortify BRICS’ influence as a representative body for emerging and developing economies.
The gathering includes prominent leaders such as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, alongside other BRICS members. This year’s discussions occur against the backdrop of several pressing international issues, including the Iran-US conflict, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and persistent tensions between the United States and China.
This visit marks President Xi’s first trip to India since 2019, symbolizing a potential thaw in Sino-Indian relations after a period of strain. The summit provides an opportunity for Xi and Modi to engage in bilateral talks aimed at mending ties between their countries. Through these discussions, both nations hope to navigate past challenges and forge a more collaborative future.
