BRICS Summit 2026 | China’s President Xi Jinping arrives in New Delhi
This is Mr. Jinping’s first visit to Delhi since 2014
Chinese President Xi Jinping landed in New Delhi on September 12 to attend the 18th BRICS Summit hosted by India. This marks Xi's first visit to India since 2019, amid efforts to stabilize bilateral ties after border tensions and the 2020 Galwan clash.
The two-day summit, which runs from September 12 to 13 under India's chairmanship, brings together BRICS leaders to tackle pressing global and economic issues. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to meet President Xi during the summit to discuss the next steps of India-China relations, focusing on border management, trade, and cultural exchanges.
The BRICS summit, which now includes Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, aims to strengthen economic cooperation, global governance, and technological innovation among its members. Addressing ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia, India will use its chairmanship to advocate for economic resilience, sustainable development, and reform in global governance.
Xi's return to India is being closely monitored, as it represents his first visit since 2019, a period marked by strained relations following the Galwan Valley clash.
