Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to attend the BRICS gathering in New Delhi, following a recent visit to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Bishkek. Both meetings, held consecutively, emphasize solidarity and cooperation among the Global South. Xi has championed the SCO, describing it as "an important pillar of South-South cooperation" and a key force in the region's development.
During the SCO summit, he urged countries to focus on development, stating that the Global South should be the driving force behind shared prosperity. At the upcoming BRICS summit, Xi is expected to propose further initiatives for Global South cooperation.

Xi has consistently advocated for development and has implemented the Global Development Initiative (GDI), which has mobilized over 23 billion U.S. dollars and benefited more than 1,800 projects and 200,000 people. Furthermore, Xi has proposed the Global Governance Initiative to promote a more equitable global governance system and has called for greater representation of Global South countries in international affairs.
