Chinese Prez Xi Jinping to skip BRICS Summit in Brazil: Report
The Political and Business Daily
|June 26, 2025
CHINESE President Xi Jinping plans to skip the BRICS Summit in Brazil next month, which, if confirmed, will be his first-ever absence from the meeting of the grouping of emerging economies since taking office 12 years ago, according to a media report.
-
Xi will not attend the BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported on Wednesday, quoting multiple sources.
Instead, Chinese Premier and Xi's confidant Li Qiang will take part in the summit to be held on July 6-7 in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi was expected to take part.
The BRICS comprises Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The bloc has been expanded with five additional members Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
The BRICS Summit in Russia's Kazan last year became significant as both Modi and Xi met there, breaking the four-year deadlock over the frozen bilateral ties due to the standoff at eastern Ladakh.
After their meeting, both sides agreed to revive various bilateral dialogue mechanisms.
