Question of meeting PM Modi avoided

China on Monday dodged questions about a possible meeting between Prime Minister Modi and President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the BRICS summit. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian, while replying to a question at a press conference here, had said, if anything comes to light, we will inform you.

Strong possibility of PM Modi and Xi meeting

However, a meeting between Modi and Xi has become more likely after India announced on Monday a major breakthrough towards ending the more than four-year-long military standoff with China in eastern Ladakh. Ahead of Prime Minister Modi's visit to Kazan, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri had said in New Delhi on Monday that negotiators from India and China have reached an agreement on patrolling the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.

No reaction from Beijing on the announced agreement

Beijing has not yet responded to the agreement announced by Egypt. Relations between India and China had soured after the fierce clash in Galwan Valley in June 2020. This clash is being considered as the most serious military conflict between the two countries in the last several decades. China on Monday said the BRICS grouping representing emerging economies remains a positive and stable force committed to upholding multilateralism.

This is the year of beginning of BRICS cooperation

“I want to once again reaffirm that this is the year of the beginning of BRICS cooperation,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Li Jian told reporters here about China's perspective on BRICS. He had said that this summit is the first summit after the expansion of BRICS, which has attracted wide attention of the international community.

Jian said that since its inception, BRICS has adhered to the spirit of openness, inclusivity and win-win cooperation. It has remained true to its founding purpose of achieving strength through solidarity and committed to upholding multilateralism and being a positive and stable force for good in international affairs.

He had said that during this summit, President Xi Jinping will have in-depth discussions with other leaders on the international scenario, BRICS practical cooperation, development of the BRICS system and important issues of mutual interest.
