The BRICS summit, a significant meeting of the world’s largest developing nations, is taking place in Brazil. However, the absence of China’s President Xi Jinping and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has raised questions about the group’s cohesion and future direction.
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is hosting the summit, which brings together leaders from Brazil, India, China, Russia, and South Africa. The meeting is expected to focus on economic cooperation, trade, and global governance issues. The exclusion of China and Russia has sparked discussions about the group’s priorities and strategic alignment.
Analysts suggest that the absence of key leaders might affect the summit’s outcomes and the group’s ability to coordinate on major global issues. The summit comes at a time of geopolitical tensions, with the BRICS group aiming to promote collective interests amid shifting global dynamics.
