China's Xi Heads to India for BRICS Summit Overshadowed by Wars

Chinese President Xi Jinping is heading to India to attend a summit of the BRICS bloc of nations, according to a report by Al Jazeera. The gathering comes as ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine are expected to overshadow the proceedings.

According to the report, wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, together with concerns over global energy security, are expected to dominate discussions at the summit.

BRICS, which includes major emerging economies, has in recent years sought to position itself as a forum for coordinating policy among non-Western powers on issues ranging from trade to geopolitical conflicts.

Further details regarding the summit's agenda, the list of attending leaders, and specific outcomes were not immediately available in the source report.
