Modi pauses BRICS speech after Xi appears uneasy
During the BRICS Summit in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi briefly halted his speech after Chinese President Xi Jinping seemed uneasy. Modi turned to the translator for Xi and asked, "Is it okay?" He repeated the question before proceeding with his remarks. The reason for Xi's discomfort remains unclear, possibly due to the microphone or translation issues. The summit concluded on Sunday after two days of discussions involving leaders from the 11 BRICS member countries and 10 partner countries.
