Xi Jinping Calls for BRICS Peace Efforts in Middle East
Chinese President Xi Jinping urged BRICS nations to work toward peace in the Middle East during his speech at the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi. He emphasized a political solution and a 'permanent and comprehensive ceasefire,' highlighting the need to address root causes of conflict, particularly regarding the Palestinian issue. Xi stressed China's willingness to play a key role alongside other BRICS members in achieving peace in the region. His remarks come ahead of his scheduled meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump later this month. The speech also underscored the importance of implementing a 'two-state solution' between Israel and Palestine, which Xi described as central to resolving Middle East tensions. The timing is significant given recent geopolitical developments, including new economic sanctions against Iran by the Trump administration.
