The BRICS countries, while adopting the New Delhi Declaration for the ongoing summit, condemned the terrorist attack in Pahalgam.
National Conference leader Omar Abdullah challenged the Centre to bring the Uniform Civil Code to Parliament rather than pushing it through individual states, while emphasizing India's foreign policy independence.
The statement from China came two days after Modi and Xi met for bilateral talks and welcomed “steady progress” in relations between the two countries.
