Xi Takes Center Stage at Modi’s BRICS Summit as Iran War Deepens Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to kick off a BRICS summit in New Delhi that faces the difficult task of forging common ground, as the escalating war in the Middle East threatens fresh divisions. Chinese leader Xi Jinping landed in the Indian capital on Saturday, joining his fellow BRICS leaders including Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Iran’s Masoud Pezeshkian, hours after Saudi Arabia closed a key alternative pipeline to the Strait of Hormuz following multiple attacks from Iran-backed militants. The visit is Xi’s first to India since 2019 and comes as the two countries seek a reset in ties following years of strain.
