Oct. 21, 2024 (EIRNS)—On Tuesday, Oct. 22, the nine nations of the BRICS, along with most of the 30 nations that have applied to join the BRICS, will convene in Kazan, Russia. On the first day, President Vladimir Putin will meet with China’s President President Xi Jinping and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Of special note, China and India agreed today to settle the border violence of 2020 that has kept them from collaborating as fully as possible on much larger issues, such as a new financial system that penalizes speculative games and promotes trade and development. Over the three days of the BRICS summit, host Vladimir Putin plans to meet personally with each of the other 19 heads of state or government in attendance.
