Ahead of his departure for Kazan, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that India 'attaches immense importance to BRICS.' This indicates India's commitment to deepening its ties within the group and emphasizes the significance of multilateral cooperation amidst geopolitical tensions.
Chinese President Xi Jinping noted that the summit marks 'the beginning of greater BRICS cooperation.' He mentioned the desire for in-depth discussions on various topics to foster strong cooperation among member states, which underscores a collective approach in facing global challenges.
The summit serves as a platform for leaders such as Xi and Modi to engage with Russian President Vladimir Putin, highlighting Russia's strategic relationships despite Western sanctions and its isolation due to the Ukraine conflict, aiming to reshape geopolitical alliances.
With the largest gathering hosted by Putin since the war in Ukraine, the attendance of leaders from China, India, and Turkey reflects a pivot towards non-Western alliances, signaling that key players in the Global South are ready to bolster BRICS as a counterbalance to Western influences.
