The call for intervention comes as the bloc integrates new members including Egypt and Iran, significantly broadening its geopolitical footprint. Originally established in 2009 to challenge Western-led economic hegemony, the group now claims to represent a substantial portion of the world's population and financial output. Xi emphasized that this collective weight should be translated into active peacekeeping efforts rather than remaining focused solely on internal economic interests.
Beyond the regional mandate, Xi utilized the forum to address bilateral friction, holding strategic talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. These discussions signaled a thaw in China-India relations, which have long been strained by border disputes. With China scheduled to chair BRICS next year, the diplomatic push suggests a deliberate attempt to project the organization as a cohesive, influential force capable of navigating complex international crises.
