> Xi Jinping received a red-carpet welcome in New Delhi as he arrived for India’s Brics summit, his first visit to the country in seven years. The gathering is seen as the biggest step towards reconciliation since the deadly 2020 Himalayan border clash, while Beijing and Delhi publicly ease tensions and quietly compete for influence within Brics.
