Brics summit: India and China leaders mend ties

The summit adopted the BRICS Leaders Xiamen Declaration which reaffirmed the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation, and mapped out a new blueprint for strengthening the BRICS partnership and deepening practical cooperation in various areas, Xi said.

Indian officials had earlier indicated that the two leaders were expected to discuss ways to create confidence building measures.

Jaishankar said both the leaders agreed that “more efforts should be made to really enhance and strengthen the mutual level of trust between the two sides”.

Xiamen (China): During the ongoing BRICS summit Chinese president Xi Jinping has assured everyone, “This is high time, he will put pressure on China government to direct Pakistan government to take some definitive action against Masood Azhar”. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Monday confirmed that P Modi will meet Chinese President Xi at 12:30 PM (10 AM IST) in Xiamen before flying off to Myanmar for a bilateral meeting.

In this session of BRICS leaders, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also addressed India’s position on this issue and proposed to hold a conference on the issue of exemption from extremism.

The US Geological Survey measured the explosion from North Korea’s sixth nuclear test at magnitude 6.3.

“There was a sense that if the relationship is to go forward, then peace and tranquility on the border area should be maintained”, Jaishankar said, adding that both sides agreed that strong contacts between their defense personnel were needed to prevent another border incident.

Asked if both the countries have left behind the Dokalam episode, he said, “It was a forward-looking conversation.and not a backward-looking one”. “I want to congratulate our Chinese friends with the absolute success of this large global grouping”, the president said.

“The Chinese didn’t understand why India was so aggressive in Doklam”.

Globalization has met the biggest crisis as leading nations are setting globalization back, but developing countries can not survive without globalization as they continue their development process, Wu said.

There was no immediate comment from Pakistan on the BRICS resolution.

A declaration adopted at a summit of the BRICS countries — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — named organizations including the Pakistan-based militant groups Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad.

Jaish-e Mohammad, another anti-Indian group based in Pakistan, was blamed for a 2001 attack on parliament.
