Summit in India: China toughens tone towards Washington – BRICS countries push for ceasefire in Iran
At the summit, the BRICS countries present a harmonious picture despite some differences of opinion. There is criticism of the war in Iran, but Russia's campaign is not on the agenda.
China's President Xi Jinping has strongly condemned the US-led war in Iran, stating it does not serve the common interests of the international community. Speaking at the BRICS summit in New Delhi, India, Xi said the conflict has caused heavy losses for people in the region. He made these comments ahead of a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on September 24.
China will take over the rotating chairmanship of the BRICS states next year. Russia's President Vladimir Putin has welcomed an offer from India and China to mediate in finding a peaceful solution to the conflict in Ukraine.
