The upcoming annual BRICS summit in India represents an important opportunity for the two Asian powers, India and China. While these two countries have always been in competition in various fields including economic and political, it now seems that they need each other for this event to proceed smoothly.
The Necessity of Cooperation in BRICS
As the host of this summit, India feels significant pressure to hold a successful event. On the other hand, China, which will host the summit next year, is also looking to enhance its credibility and influence on a global scale through this process. Therefore, both countries should focus on joint cooperation rather than their differences.
China, given its economic growth and regional influence, can help India strengthen its position in BRICS. Meanwhile, India can assist China in advancing its goals within this organization. The cooperation between these two countries could signify a stronger alliance against global challenges.
Challenges Ahead
However, border disputes and economic rivalries between India and China still exist. These issues could act as serious obstacles to the cooperation between the two countries. Thus, the success of this summit somewhat depends on a balance between competition and cooperation.
Ultimately, although India and China may not agree on many issues, holding a successful BRICS summit could be seen as a sign of the willingness of both countries to cooperate on a global level. This event could provide an opportunity for both countries to collaborate and move towards agreement and understanding instead of confrontation.
