During the BRICS Summit in New Delhi, Chinese President Xi Jinping urged member nations to stand against the infringement of national sovereignty and interference in the internal affairs of other countries. He highlighted that the ongoing conflict between Iran and the United States is not aligned with the mutual interests of the international community.
Xi emphasized China’s commitment to collaborating with BRICS countries to foster peace and address conflicts in the Middle East. He called on the bloc to take an active role in resolving global disputes while upholding the principles of sovereignty and non-interference. This comes as the BRICS Summit, which brings together leaders from emerging and developing economies, focuses on trade, investment, and major international conflicts.
The summit features participation from key figures, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, among others. The gathering occurs against the backdrop of several international tensions, notably the Iran-US conflict, the Russia-Ukraine war, and ongoing strains between the United States and China.
President Xi’s visit to India marks his first since 2019, as both Beijing and New Delhi strive to enhance bilateral relations after years of tension. Xi and Modi are expected to engage in bilateral talks during the summit, further underscoring efforts to improve diplomatic ties between the two nations.
