Chinese President Xi Jinping does not attend a dinner hosted by India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the first day of the BRICS summit, according to NDTV. The report frames the event within the broader two-day BRICS meeting taking place in India.
The summit brings together leaders from the 11 BRICS member countries and representatives from 10 partner countries, along with officials from some international organisations. As the gathering continues, outlets highlight the leadership schedule and state engagements that mark the start of the two-day programme.
