+++ Iran-Krieg +++: Iranischer Präsident trifft zum BRICS-Gipfel in Indien ein
Huthi-Miliz kontrolliert weite Teile der jemenitischen Küste +++ Golf-Staaten und Iran planen offenbar Treffen zu Straße von Hormus +++ Der Newsblog.
New Delhi recently hosted a BRICS summit, where India and China continued their gradual approach towards each other. When former Chinese leader Xi Jinping last visited India, the relationship between the two Asian nations was simpler. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the Chinese guest in a historic temple city in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, dressed entirely in white.
The two leaders sipped coconut water from fresh coconuts and posed in front of a six-meter tall, oval granite boulder known as "Krishna's Butterball," which has balanced on a hill for centuries without moving. Modi then proclaimed a new "era of cooperation." However, the Indo-Chinese relationship quickly deteriorated within a few months.
Border clashes along the disputed Himalayan frontier resulted in the deaths of soldiers from both countries. This was followed by a diplomatic ice age, with visa issuance and flights between the two nations being halted. India imposed strict requirements for Chinese investments, and Chinese apps like TikTok were completely banned.
Now, Xi Jinping is returning to India, with the aim of helping the two countries diplomatically reconnect.
