News India Live, Digital Desk: India’s influence is going to increase in ‘BRICS’, a group of rapidly emerging countries of the world. India is going to take over the Presidency of BRICS in the year 2026. Meanwhile, China has given a big statement extending the hand of friendship towards India. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has made it clear that China is fully ready to support India’s chairmanship, but in return it has also put a ‘special’ condition.

China’s ‘partner’ move: Be a friend, not an enemy

Wang Yi spoke openly on India-China relations during the National People’s Congress held in Beijing. He said that both the countries should respect each other ‘Partners rather than rivals’ And ‘Opportunity rather than threat’ Should be seen as. China believes that if the world’s two largest developing countries come together, it will prove to be a game-changer for the whole of Asia.

2026 presidency and China’s strategy

India will host the BRICS summit in 2026. China has sought support from India on this occasion.

Mutual Support: Wang Yi proposed that India and China should support each other’s BRICS chairmanship. (India will chair in 2026 and China in 2027).

Voice of the Global South: China wants to work with India to present the voice of the ‘Global South’ (developing countries) more strongly in front of the world.

Peace on the border: The Chinese Foreign Minister also stressed the need to maintain peace and stability in the border areas so that development work can be focused.

Impact of Modi-Xi meeting?

This statement has come at a time when after the meetings between PM Modi and President Xi Jinping in recent months, the ice in the relations between the two countries seems to be melting. Wang Yi, referring to the successful meeting held in Tianjin last year, said that there are signs of improvement in relations and bilateral trade has set new records.

What does it mean for India?

This is like a diplomatic victory for India, where even a rival country like China has to accept India’s leadership. However, experts believe that India needs to be cautious, as China often hides its expansionist policies behind ‘sweet talks’ in diplomacy.
