Kazan: At the BRICS Summit today, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in a bilateral meeting for the first time in almost five years. And so the observers of the world wait, with bated breath, as the heads of two Asian giants prepare to meet in Kazan, Russia, during the summit.
The last time both Modi and Xi sat together for such a discussion was during the 2019 meeting of BRICS leaders in Brazil. Today’s meeting is especially significant as it takes place against the backdrop of climbing geopolitical tensions – including two wars in the BRICS host country Russia. The bilateral meeting between Modi and Xi is significant both for India and for the world because of the possibility of changes in the functioning of bilateral relations, which concerns trade relations and world security.
Historic Credentials – Timing and Effectiveness Globally
And the timing that makes this meeting even more important is highly valuable. It is such startling creations that felt just two days ago that India and China have agreed to end all long-standing border disputes – this move viewed by many as a move to initiate a positive change in relations between the two Asian behemoths. This bilateral dialogue could come after the two nations have shown a severe commitment to handling their interests, which offers the world a positive sign that these neighbors can think about how to sort out their issues.
Referring to this important debate between India and China, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said at a press conference in Kazan. Such interaction could understandably shape not only relations between the two states but also the regional and the global landscape, given that the world currently either witnesses several conflicts and or, economic fluctuations.
International Agitation and Diplomacy Review
India and china have held high level talks in the context of the BRICS summit in which countries like Russia are also member. During the main event of the summit, Prime Minister Modi and President Xi will probably discuss the topical directions of bilateral relations, with attention to the trade and economic cooperation, as well as the key challenges and threats within the framework of the South Asian region. One issue could be Canada and Trudeau since India and China both have had some disagreements with him. Trudeau said China tried to interfere in the Canadian election and on the other hand India is also involved something related to the murder of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
This common grievance with Canada could lead to a united front – a position shared by both countries, which are apparently keen to defy Western imperialism over these sensitive questions. Even the fact that the summit itself takes place under the presidency of Russia, a country currently involved in conflicts around the world, can be seen as helpful for such debates.
On which basis the future relations will be built
The proposed interact between Modi and Xi, on the BRICS platform, might well turn out to be the defining interaction between future India-China relations. That the border issue after four years of military tension was solved; this has develop a positive setting towards this dialogue. They also regard today’s meeting as the starting point in enhancing relations that could potentially enhance stability and cooperation in the region.
When the sessions of the summit carry on this creates a good chance of diplomacy since two leaders from such powerful nations are in one room. The issues important for both nations and the world have not changed, yet the constructive tone of the discussions during the BRICS Summit opens a new page in relations between India and China for the benefit of the two countries and the world.
