Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for stronger coordination and cooperation under the BRICS framework during meetings with Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar in Manila. Wang affirmed China's support for India hosting a successful BRICS summit this year and urged both sides to better represent and safeguard the common interests of developing nations. The discussions occurred amid ongoing border tensions but focused on deepening BRICS coordination and expanding cooperation mechanisms.
Strategic interpretation
The Wang-Yi-Jaishankar meeting demonstrates how BRICS serves as a diplomatic platform for major powers to engage despite bilateral tensions. By focusing on BRICS cooperation, China and India are signaling their commitment to multilateralism and the Global South, potentially creating a parallel diplomatic track that could reshape global governance structures and reduce dependence on Western-led institutions.
