Chinese President Xi Jinping urges BRICS to take on a peacemaking role in the Middle East conflict. Xi makes the call in remarks to a summit of BRICS countries in New Delhi on Saturday, according to reporting that cites China’s state media.
Xi says China will work with other BRICS members in that role. He argues that the war does not serve the common interests of the international community, framing BRICS involvement as an effort to support peace. Outlets broadly describe the same message from Xi, with coverage focusing on his emphasis on “peacemaking” and cooperation among members. Reuters-based reporting notes Xi’s comments are carried by CCTV, while other summaries foreground the diplomatic intent behind China’s position toward the conflict.
BRICS is described across outlets as an association initially including Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, with some reporting also listing additional invited or partner participants at the summit.
