On the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Astana on Wednesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed strong support for Russia's upcoming chairmanship of BRICS and stressed unity among the Global South during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Astana on Wednesday, Xinhua reported.

Xi Jinping reportedly expressed China's backing for Russia's leadership in BRICS and stressed the importance of uniting the Global South amid growing geopolitical tensions.

The leaders further discussed enhancing strategic coordination to prevent a new Cold War and to safeguard regional stability, amid external pressures.
