BRICS Summit 2026: Experts Analyse India-China Ties, Global Governance & Trade

In an extensive interview on international geopolitics, the interviewee detailed India's diplomatic achievements and the growing significance of multinational groupings like BRICS and G20. Explaining how India facilitated consensus during the 2022 Bali and 2023 New Delhi G20 summits, the interviewee expressed optimism about securing strong outcomes at the BRICS summit despite global friction over Palestine and Ukraine.

The discussion highlighted that bilateral issues between India and China, including the LAC border disputes and the over 100 billion dollar trade deficit within their 159 billion dollar trade relationship, are managed strictly through dedicated bilateral channels rather than multilateral platforms. Dismissing opposition criticism questioning the tangible benefits of BRICS, Quad, and SCO, the interviewee underscored that BRICS represents the non-Western world and major emerging economies comprising substantial global population and growth.

The interviewee also addressed modern hetero polarity, cautioning against the disproportionate influence of individual financiers, non-governmental actors, and tech corporations investing hundreds of billions in artificial intelligence and robotics.
