“The multipolar world has no hegemon, everyone has equal rights. Despite having economic giants like India and China as members, groupings like BRICS do not talk about the idea of domination of politics or global security,” Putin told reporters at the end of his visit to Beijing for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, where he interacted with the host, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
His remarks come amid India’s tariff tussle with the United States and growing tensions between the two countries resulting from failed negotiations over a vital trade deal. The Trump administration has imposed a 50 percent tariff on Indian goods, justifying it as “punishment” over New Delhi’s purchase of Russian crude oil.
Putin said his “formal and informal” talks with Chinese leaders have been “useful” and had “positive” outcomes. “While leading EU (European Union) economies fall into recession, global ones are moving ahead, especially in the Asia-Pacific,” he said. “Formal and informal talks with leaders in China have been useful and had positive outcomes.”
