  "summary": "Uzbekistan has called for de-escalation in the Middle East, backing diplomatic efforts across the region, including those led by Qatar, according to Doha News. The country supports regional diplomatic efforts to address the escalating tensions.\n\nThe BRICS group of emerging economies, including China, Russia, India, and Iran, has also expressed concern over the rising tensions in the Middle East. According to The Korea Times, the leaders met in New Delhi and voiced concern over \"deliberate attacks\" on civilian infrastructure and peaceful nuclear facilities. They condemned the use of sanctions not authorized by the U.N. and called for the elimination of such unlawful measures.\n\nHong Kong aims to deepen ties with emerging economies worldwide, expanding connections with the Middle East and belt and road countries, from finance to innovation and technology, according to the South China Morning Post. Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po stated that the city aims to build \"networked and institutionalised\" connectivity with the Global South.",
