Wang Yi To Visit Delhi For BRICS Meet
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is set to visit New Delhi for a high-level BRICS security meeting on June 22 and 23, as India prepares to host the BRICS leaders’ summit in September. The visit is expected to add momentum to both multilateral security discussions and India-China diplomatic engagement.
BRICS NSA Meeting In Delhi
The meeting of BRICS National Security Advisers and High Representatives will be hosted by National Security Adviser Ajit Doval. Senior security officials from major BRICS countries, including China, Russia and Iran, are expected to attend the discussions in New Delhi.
Russia’s Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu and a senior representative from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council are also expected to be present. The meeting will focus on global security challenges, regional developments and cooperation among BRICS members.
Wang Yi India Visit
Wang Yi’s visit is significant as he is also China’s Special Representative for the India-China boundary talks. During his stay, he is expected to hold bilateral discussions with NSA Ajit Doval.
The visit comes as both countries continue efforts to stabilise ties after the military disengagement process along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh. India and China had resumed high-level engagement after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Kazan in October 2024.
BRICS Summit In India
The New Delhi security meeting will help prepare the ground for the BRICS leaders’ summit scheduled to be hosted by India in September. India currently holds the rotating presidency of the grouping.
The discussions are expected to cover traditional and non-traditional security challenges, multilateral cooperation and coordination among Global South countries. Wang Yi’s participation is also being seen as a signal of continued engagement between New Delhi and Beijing ahead of the leaders’ summit.
