Chinese President Xi Jinping departs Beijing to attend the two-day BRICS Summit in New Delhi. The summit is set to begin on Saturday as leaders from member countries arrive in the Indian capital. Delhi also imposes traffic curbs as part of arrangements for visiting officials.

Other reports frame the meeting as taking place against a backdrop of heightened geopolitical tensions. They also point to broader global concerns affecting trade and markets, including disruptions in energy markets and shipping. Business Line adds that Xi is expected to hold talks with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi as part of the visit and summit agenda.

While both outlets agree on the summit’s start and Xi’s travel to Delhi, they emphasize different practical and contextual elements: Mint focuses on the logistics of arrival and city restrictions, while Business Line highlights the wider international environment surrounding the BRICS gathering.
