Xi Jinping to Attend BRICS Summit in India Amid Regional Political Developments
Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit India for the first time in nearly seven years to attend the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi on September 12-13, marking improved India-China relations. Bangladesh's Prime Minister Tarique Rahman will not attend, as the invitation was extended to the BIMSTEC Chair instead. Separately, West Bengal's Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari called for arrests of protesters who opposed religious leader Dhirendra Shastri's remarks on meat consumption during Durga Puja, emphasizing the leader's right to express views. Additionally, activist Sonam Wangchuk has threatened fresh agitation over Ladakh issues if unresolved.
