Refer to ‘India holds its ground on BRICS turf’; being the current chair, the nation’s leadership of the grouping is a diplomatic achievement. However, China’s refusal to resolve the boundary question ahead of other issues tempered that success. In the Wang Yi-Ajit Doval talks, India was right to insist that progress in ties must rest on peace along the LAC. The summit addressed pressing global concerns like terrorism, cybercrime and climate change. India’s support for poorer countries was laudable. Given the unresolved differences, its refusal to endorse the joint statement was also prudent. India must remain steadfast, speak with clarity and pursue negotiations with resolve.
