There seems to be euphoria in diplomatic and media circles after the meetings of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China, on the sidelines of 16th Brics Summit at Kazan on 23 October 2024.
The meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Brics summit at Kazan marks a significant moment in the evolving dynamics between two of the world’s largest economies.
The two leaders met at Kazan in Russia this evening on the margins of the BRICS Summit. This was after five years that they had a bilateral meeting.
At a media briefing, Mr Misri said the time and venue of the meeting are being worked out by the two sides.
In the complex theatre of global politics, Xi Jinping’s China stands as a self-assured protagonist, asserting its vision of a multipolar world with a conviction that borders on swagger.
It is pretty evident that he underlined the development imperative in an effort to play to the local gallery.
On Thursday, the United States criticised China’s position as “irresponsible and dangerous”.
A change in geostrategy is, therefore, almost certain. Yue will replace Liu Jian, who was appointed to the post barely a year ago.
Xi said, he came to meet the people in Nyingtri first, telling them that not a single ethnic group should be left behind in the efforts to fully build a modern socialist China
Besides hailing its first centenary goal of building a ‘moderately prosperous society’ for all, the focus shifted towards drumming nativist passions by insisting that it would not get ‘bullied, oppressed or subjugated‘ and that it would not accept ‘sanctimonious preaching‘ from anyone. The wary instinct of protectionism was palpable, and all-pervasive.
