Brics+ Summit in New Delhi: India Attempts to Balance Its Rapprochement with Beijing and Its 'Multi-Alignment' Policy
India has been hosting a Brics+ summit since September 12 bringing together around fifteen heads of state and government, including the leaders of Russia, China, and Iran, according to RFI.
New Delhi has become a high-security political showcase with the opening on September 12 of the Brics+ summit, reports RFI. Around fifteen heads of state and government are present in the Indian capital, including the leaders of Russia, China, and Iran.
According to the same source, this summit is primarily economic in nature. Discussions are expected to focus notably on freeing international transactions between member countries from dollar dependence, a recurring topic at Brics+ bloc meetings.
RFI also highlights that Sino-Indian rapprochement is on the agenda for talks. This rapprochement occurs as New Delhi seeks to maintain a so-called "multi-alignment" policy, which consists of maintaining relations with multiple powers without exclusively aligning with any single one.
The media outlet also indicates that bloc members display divergent positions on the Middle East crisis, which represents one of the expected friction points during the debates.
The summit brings together leaders with sometimes contradictory interests, in a context where India is attempting to preserve its diplomatic balance while deepening its engagement with China, according to information reported by RFI.
