Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed the BRICS summit in New Delhi on Saturday, calling on the grouping of emerging economies to act as a "peacemaker" in the ongoing West Asia war. He emphasized that the conflict does not serve the interests of the international community and affirmed China’s willingness to work with other BRICS members toward a diplomatic resolution.
Xi listed the ten current members – Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates – which together account for more than 40% of the world’s population and roughly a quarter of global GDP. He noted that China will assume the BRICS chairmanship next year and will host the 19th summit. The remarks came as Saudi Arabia temporarily halted operations on its East‑West oil pipeline after drone attacks traced to Iraq, and Houthi forces in Yemen seized Perim (Mayun) Island, tightening control over the Bab el‑Mandeb Strait.
Formed in 2009 to provide an alternative to a US‑centric order, BRICS is portrayed by Xi as a leading coalition of the Global South and a model of self‑reliance for developing nations. By positioning the bloc as a mediator, Beijing aims to enhance its diplomatic clout while addressing concerns over the security of vital oil and shipping routes that have been strained by the broader Middle East confrontation.
