Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will skip the upcoming BRICS Foreign Ministers’ meeting in New Delhi due to “scheduling reasons”, according to China’s Foreign Ministry. Beijing also indicated that it would not send any other high-level representative for the May 14 gathering, resulting in the absence of senior Chinese participation at the key BRICS diplomatic event hosted by India. The announcement comes amid continued geopolitical and strategic sensitivities involving regional and global powers within the BRICS grouping. The meeting in New Delhi is expected to focus on multilateral cooperation, economic coordination and global geopolitical developments among BRICS member nations. China’s decision not to send senior leadership has drawn attention given the significance of the forum and India’s hosting role. (PC: Reuters)
