BRICS Summit debuts, Mo and Xi will become the key to breaking the ice in Sino-Indian relations

(Central News Agency reporter Li Jinwei, New Delhi, 12th) The BRICS summit kicked off in the afternoon. The organizers gradually implemented traffic control from the main venue to the periphery a week ago, and heavy military and police personnel controlled the surrounding areas of the venue. In the venue, the eyes of hundreds of media from around the world are all focused on the "Moxi-Xi meeting" bilateral talks that will be held later.

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in New Delhi this morning. He smiled when he got off the plane, but did not make a speech, making people more curious about what issues he will touch upon and what consensus he will reach in his "ice-breaking" talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

This is the first time Xi Jinping has set foot on Indian soil since the bloody conflict broke out in the Galwan Valley on the China-India border in 2020. It is also the most critical meeting between the leaders of the two countries in recent years.

For this summit held at the Indian Convention Center (Bharat Mandapam) in New Delhi, the security level inside and outside the venue has been raised to the highest level. People entering and leaving need to apply in advance and can enter with issued certificates and passports and other identity documents after passing the review. When entering the venue, identities must be strictly checked and all carry-on items must be checked.

According to external assessments, whether this "Moscow-Xi meeting" can achieve substantial progress on border issues and strategic mutual trust will be the key to whether the relationship between the two countries can go further.

In addition to the highlight of bilateral ice-breaking between China and India, the BRICS Summit also focused on several core issues, including responding to the situation in the Middle East and oil price turbulence, member states are committed to coordinating positions to maintain regional stability; promoting domestic currency trade settlement and reducing dependence on the Western financial system; focusing on artificial intelligence security regulations and digital infrastructure sharing; global governance, with China and India leading emerging markets, striving for a greater say in international institutions such as the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
