WHILE global attention is fixed on the long-awaited meeting between US President Donald Trump and China President Xi Jinping, another key diplomatic event is happening in Asia.
India, as the 2026 chair of the Brics forum, will walk a tricky diplomatic tightrope on May 14 and 15 as the bloc’s foreign ministers meet in the country. New Delhi must prevent intra-group geopolitical divisions over the Middle East crisis from widening into a historic rupture.
The goal is to keep Teheran from using military force against other members for the first time since the bloc’s founding.
