Explorer Written By : ABP News Bureau  | 13 Sep 2026 12:49 PM (IST) The discussion examined the significance of the Modi-Xi meeting, India-China relations and the broader geopolitical impact of the BRICS Summit. Experts described China as a major economic and strategic challenge for India, while stressing that India’s approach is to engage Beijing from a position of strength. Maintaining peace and stability along the border remains a key priority, alongside addressing the large India-China trade imbalance and encouraging greater Chinese investment in India. A major point of discussion was the inclusion of the Pahalgam terror attack and terrorism in the New Delhi Declaration despite China’s longstanding relationship with Pakistan. Experts welcomed China’s willingness to accept the reference but cautioned that its real position will be tested through future actions, particularly at the UN and other international forums concerning terrorist designations. The debate also highlighted India’s multi-alignment strategy—engaging China and Iran while simultaneously conducting military exercises with the United States. This was presented as evidence that a multipolar world is an Indian reality, with New Delhi keeping multiple strategic options open.
