Gipfel in Indien: China verschärft Ton gegenüber Washington – BRICS-Staaten drängen auf Waffenruhe im Iran
Beim Gipfeltreffen geben sich die BRICS-Länder trotz einzelner Meinungsverschiedenheiten harmonisch. Es gibt zwar Kritik am Krieg im Iran, Russlands Feldzug ist aber kein Thema.
Bangkok - Less than two weeks before a planned meeting with US President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping strongly condemned the US-led war on Iran during the BRICS summit in India's capital, New Delhi. In his statement on the weekend, Xi stated that the war "does not serve the common interests of the international community" and that it has caused serious losses to the people of all countries in the region.
The Chinese leader did not directly name the US as responsible for the conflict. President Xi is expected to hold talks at the White House on September 24. In the coming year, China will take on the rotating annual presidency of the BRICS nations. Although Russia's military aggression in Ukraine was not mentioned in the final statement, India and China reportedly offered mediation to help find a peaceful resolution. Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomed the offer, according to government sources in Moscow.
