As it is, China is aware it is the only BRICS member that has not yet spoken to Russia to resolve the dispute through dialogue and diplomacy, a media report added
Even as Xi Jinping tries to improve China’s global image in order to boost his chances of grabbing a third term in power, the commitments that his country has made in this regard over the last few months have the potential to worsen the Asian country’s ‘friendly’ relations with Russia, a media report said.
President Xi will have to face Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the BRICS Summit in June. The Chinese are saved from the embarrassment of having to host the Indian head of government in Beijing even as New Delhi accuses them of illegally holding on to Indian territory as the Indian PM will be attending the meeting virtually, Tibet Press reported.
Still, when the BRICS nations discuss the Russia-Ukraine conflict, all eyes will be on China as China’s Ladakh incursion is similar to the Russia-Ukraine situation in the sense that both amount to blatant disrespect for the sovereignty of the countries they intrude into, the report said. The BRICS nations would also want to hear from Russia – a member of the organisation – on when the conflict might end, the report further said, adding, that New Delhi has already reminded Moscow of the ‘New Delhi Declaration’ of BRICS.
