Xi's Beijing Inspection - Li Qiang Message to Red Army Descendants & on Rare Earths - Taiwan Affairs Work Conference - Hong Kong National Security White Paper - India-China Dialogue
Here are the key reports and articles from the People’s Daily’s edition on Wednesday, February 11, 2026.
Page 1: The main report on the page today is about Xi Jinping’s inspection of Beijing. He was accompanied by Beijing Party Secretary Yin Li and Mayor Yin Yong, and Cai Qi and He Lifeng. The entire second page is also dedicated to just pictures of Xi’s engagements during this visit.
The report says:
“On Monday, Xi visited a national information technology innovation park in Yizhuang, where he gained a detailed understanding of developments in information technology innovation applications and carefully viewed displays of scientific and technological innovation achievements such as artificial intelligence and robotics; he frequently exchanged views with researchers and representatives of technology companies. He said that this on-site experience was eye-opening, and had given him even more confidence in the country’s scientific and technological innovation. He emphasized that the key to building a socialist modernized strong country lies in self-reliance and self-strengthening in science and technology, and that Beijing should give full play to its own advantages and make greater contributions in this regard. He encouraged the broad mass of scientific and technological workers to deeply cultivate feelings of devotion to serving the country, carry forward the spirit of struggle, and make due contributions on the journey of Chinese-style modernisation.” 9日上午，习近平来到位于北京亦庄的国家信创园，详细了解信息技术创新应用等情况，仔细察看人工智能、机器人等科技创新成果展示，频频同科研人员和科技企业负责人代表交流。他说，今天来这里现场学习，很开眼界，看了之后对国家科技创新更加充满信心。他强调，建设社会主义现代化强国，关键在科技自立自强，北京要发挥自身优势，在这方面作出更大贡献。他勉励广大科技工作者厚植报国情怀，发扬奋斗精神，在中国式现代化征程上建功立业.
The next day Xi visited a community, which was renovated to be barrier-free and age-friendly, in Xicheng District. Xi visited a canteen, “where he inspected the dishes, prices, and dining environment, and carefully inquired about the canteen’s provision of meal-assistance services for the elderly. Upon seeing delivery couriers resting there, Xi Jinping expressed concern by asking about their work and lives, and praised their hard work and contributions.”
The big message delivered here was:
“respecting and honouring the elderly is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and caring for and assisting the elderly is a shared responsibility of the entire society. Party committees and governments at all levels must coordinate all types of resources, promote the expansion of capacity and improvement of quality in elderly-care services, and their sustained development, and strive to create better conditions for elderly people to peacefully enjoy a happy old age.”
位于西城区北草厂胡同的“吾老·新街”养老服务街区，近年来推进无障碍和适老化改造，为老年人提供多元化养老服务。10日上午，习近平来到这里，走进新街口街道父母食堂，察看菜品、价格和就餐环境，仔细询问食堂开展养老助餐服务情况。见到在这里休息的快递小哥，习近平关切询问他们的工作和生活，为他们付出的辛劳和作出的贡献点赞。他指出，尊老敬老是中华民族传统美德，爱老助老是全社会共同责任。各级党委和政府要统筹各类资源，推动养老服务扩容提质、持续发展，努力为老年人安享幸福晚年创造更好条件.
Xinhua English captures the next bits sufficiently.
“In Xicheng District, Xi also visited an apartment complex for seniors, where he spent time with the elderly, wishing them health, longevity and a happy Spring Festival. Arriving at the Longfusi commercial area in Dongcheng District, Xi was briefed on urban renewal efforts there. He stopped by a store of the traditional bakery brand Daoxiangcun, where he watched pastry-making. At a Spring Festival market, he visited various stalls selling festive goods and talked with people there, sharing memories of his visits to the area when he was young. He also bought some specialty food and culture-themed products. Xi said he was very pleased to see the bustling, vibrant festive scene and well-stocked holiday goods there. ‘The Spring Festival is an important occasion for the people,’ Xi said, urging officials at all levels to make solid efforts in ensuring people’s wellbeing and strengthening workplace safety so that everyone can enjoy a joyful Chinese New Year.”
The final part of the report has Xi engaging with the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government; he heard their work reports and “affirmed the achievements made in all aspects of Beijing’s work”.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the 15th FYP period is a crucial period for laying a solid foundation and making comprehensive efforts to basically realise socialist modernisation. Beijing should thoroughly implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, implement the city’s strategic positioning determined by the CPC Central Committee, promote economic and social development in a precise and practical manner, ensure decisive progress in taking the lead in basically realising socialist modernization, and strive to play an exemplary role nationwide. 习近平指出，“十五五”时期是基本实现社会主义现代化夯实基础、全面发力的关键时期。北京要深入贯彻党的二十届四中全会精神，落实党中央确定的城市战略定位，精准务实推动经济社会发展，确保率先基本实现社会主义现代化取得决定性进展，努力在全国发挥示范作用.
Xi Jinping emphasised that Beijing must base itself on its city strategic positioning and on the coordinated development of Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei, further solidify the orientation of high-quality development, and promote the effective improvement of the quality and reasonable growth of the economy through a process in which there are increases and decreases, and in which some areas are supported and others controlled. It should grasp the ‘bull’s nose’ of promoting the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei by relieving Beijing of its non-capital functions, adhere to the combination of controlling new additions and relocating existing functions, and achieve the organic unity and mutual promotion of relocation and upgrading. It must grasp the opportunity of the expansion of the Beijing (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei) International Science and Technology Innovation Center, strengthen collaborative innovation and industrial cooperation with Tianjin and Hebei, and promote coordinated development to continuously go deeper and be more solid. It should coordinate the integrated development of education, science and technology, and talent, strengthen the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, and vigorously develop new-quality productive forces. It must actively develop modern service industries, make good use of rich cultural resources, and promote the integrated development of culture, commerce, tourism, sports, and exhibitions. It must adhere to the principle of large cities driving the development of the suburbs and the suburbs serving large cities, strengthen integrated urban-rural planning, and promote coordinated, integrated, and interconnected urban-rural development. It must further comprehensively deepen reform, expand institutional opening, and strive to provide experiences that can be replicated and promoted nationwide. 习近平强调，北京要立足城市战略定位和京津冀协同发展，进一步树牢高质量发展导向，在有增有减、有保有压中推动经济实现质的有效提升和量的合理增长。牵住疏解北京非首都功能这个推动京津冀协同发展的“牛鼻子”，坚持控增量和疏存量相结合、两手抓，实现疏解和提升有机统一、相互促进。抓住北京（京津冀）国际科技创新中心扩围的契机，加强与天津、河北的协同创新和产业协作，推动京津冀协同发展不断走深走实。统筹教育科技人才一体发展，强化科技创新和产业创新深度融合，大力发展新质生产力。积极发展现代服务业，用好丰富的文化资源，促进文商旅体展融合发展。坚持大城市带动大京郊、大京郊服务大城市，加强城乡一体规划，促进城乡联动发展、融合发展、协调发展。进一步全面深化改革，扩大制度型开放，努力为全国提供可复制可推广的经验.
Xi Jinping pointed out that to build Beijing into a world-class harmonious and livable capital, urban governance must be advanced to the highest standards. It is essential to strengthen disaster prevention, mitigation, relief, and emergency response capabilities at the urban and rural grassroots levels, and continuously improve the level of urban public safety. Adhere to the people-centered city concept, focus on improving the basic public services system, make good use of mechanisms such as ‘responding immediately upon receiving complaints’, and resolutely resolve the urgent, difficult, worrying, and pressing problems of the people. The achievements in air, water, and soil environmental governance should be consolidated, and the treatment of new pollutants and the classification and disposal of household waste should be promoted to create a green, low-carbon, and livable home. Party building should be upheld as the guiding principle, and technological empowerment should be strengthened to make urban governance more efficient and refined. 习近平指出，北京建设国际一流的和谐宜居之都，必须以首善标准推进城市治理。要加强城乡基层防灾减灾救灾和应急能力建设，不断提升城市公共安全水平。坚持人民城市理念，着力健全基本公共服务体系，用好“接诉即办”等机制，扎实解决人民群众急难愁盼问题。巩固大气、水、土壤环境治理成效，推进新污染物治理和生活垃圾分类处置，打造绿色低碳的宜居家园。坚持党建引领，强化科技赋能，让城市治理更加高效、精细.
Xi Jinping emphasised that it is necessary to advance strict and comprehensive Party governance with higher standards and more concrete measures. Highlight and grasp the political construction of the Party, and forge solid political ability. Strictly control the gateways of selecting and appointing personnel, ensuring that the best are chosen and appointed to leadership positions at all levels. Strengthen study and training, and comprehensively raise the capacity of the cadre contingent for modernised development. Guide Party members and cadres to establish and practice a correct view of political achievements, and strive to create tangible achievements that can withstand the tests of practice, the people, and history. Continue to deepen efforts to rectify work styles, enforce discipline, and combat corruption, advance in an integrated manner the mechanisms of not daring to be corrupt, not being able to be corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt, focussing on eradicating the soil and conditions that breed corruption, and striving to foster a clean and upright political ecology. 习近平强调，必须以更高标准和更实举措推进全面从严治党。突出抓好党的政治建设，锻造过硬的政治能力。严把选人用人关口，选优配强各级领导班子。加强学习培训，全面提高干部队伍的现代化建设本领。引导党员干部树立和践行正确政绩观，努力创造经得起实践、人民、历史检验的实绩。持续深化正风肃纪反腐，一体推进不敢腐、不能腐、不想腐，着力铲除腐败滋生的土壤和条件，努力营造风清气正的政治生态.
Next, there’s a report on Li Qiang’s visit to Jiangxi. The report says:
Li “emphasised that it is necessary to deeply implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions on accelerating the revitalization and development of old revolutionary base areas, fully implement the Party Central Committee’s various decisions and deployments on supporting the construction of old base areas, vigorously develop distinctive and advantageous industries, and earnestly do a good job in guaranteeing and improving people’s livelihoods, so that the people can enjoy greater happiness, well-being, and a more prosperous life.” 他强调，要深入贯彻习近平总书记关于加快革命老区振兴发展的重要指示精神，全面落实党中央关于支持老区建设的各项决策部署，大力发展特色优势产业，扎实做好保障和改善民生工作，让人民群众更加幸福安康、生活蒸蒸日上.
“Li Qiang visited Zhufang Village and Yangxi Village in Yepíng Town, Ruijin City, entering the homes of Red Army descendants and veteran Party members. He sat and conversed with them, carefully inquiring about household income, children’s employment, and medical reimbursement status. He also sought detailed information from local cadres regarding rural social security, the development of the collective economy, and assistance for the people in need. Li Qiang said, General Secretary Xi Jinping is deeply concerned about the people of the old revolutionary base areas. As the Spring Festival of the Year of the Horse is approaching, I, on behalf of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, am visiting everyone here to offer New Year greetings. I wish everyone auspiciousness in the Year of the Horse, good health, smooth work, and family happiness! Li Qiang encouraged local cadres and the relevant parties to center on what the masses need and hope for, continue to strengthen service guarantees in all aspects and the construction of village appearance and environment, and ensure that every practical deed for the benefit and convenience of the people is handled and completed well, leading fellow villagers to strive together with one heart, jointly create a better life, and ensure that no one is left behind.” 李强来到瑞金市叶坪镇朱坊村、洋溪村，走进红军后代、老党员家中，同他们围坐交谈，仔细询问家庭收入、子女就业、就医报销等情况，并向当地干部详细了解农村社保、发展集体经济、困难群众帮扶等工作。李强说，习近平总书记十分挂念老区人民。马年新春佳节即将来临，我代表党中央、国务院来看望大家，送上新春的祝福，祝愿大家马年吉祥、身体健康、工作顺利、阖家幸福！李强勉励当地干部和有关方面围绕群众所需所盼，继续加强各方面服务保障和村容村貌建设，把一件件惠民利民实事办成办好，带领乡亲们同心奋斗，共创美好生活，不让一个人掉队.
“Li Qiang visited the Yepíng revolutionary site complex, paying homage to the site of the First National Congress of the Chinese Soviet Republic and the former site of the Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China in the Soviet Area, and listened to introductions on the protection and utilisation of revolutionary resources. Li Qiang said that whether in the years of revolutionary war or in the new period of reform and opening up, the people of the old revolutionary base areas have made tremendous contributions; ensuring better development and making the lives of the people of the old revolutionary base is a shared aspiration of all the people. It is necessary to implement the Party’s policies, increase support in all aspects, carry forward the spirit and fine traditions of the old revolutionary base areas, rely on the revolutionary heritage and resource advantages, strengthen technological empowerment, create more distinctive industries with brand effects and radiating influence, continuously consolidate and expand the achievements in poverty alleviation, and constantly enhance the endogenous development momentum.” 李强前往叶坪革命旧址群，瞻仰中华苏维埃第一次全国代表大会会址、中共苏区中央局旧址，听取红色资源保护利用等介绍。李强说，无论是革命战争年代还是改革开放新时期，老区人民都作出了巨大贡献，让老区发展得更好、群众的生活更幸福是大家共同的心愿。要落实好党的政策，加大各方面支持力度，弘扬传承老区精神和优良传统，依托红色底蕴和资源优势，强化科技赋能，打造更多具有品牌效应和辐射带动作用的特色产业，持续巩固拓展脱贫攻坚成果，不断增强内生发展动力.
Li also visited the Ganjiang Innovation Academy under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as several rare earth companies.
“Li Qiang pointed out that the important value of rare earths in developing advanced manufacturing industries and in promoting green and low-carbon transformation is becoming increasingly prominent. It is necessary to rationally develop rare-earth resources, strengthen overall planning, optimise industrial layout, improve the recycling system, and raise the level of economical and intensive utilisation. It is necessary to adhere to ecological protection as a priority, improve the system of green standards at all stages of production and processing, and promote green development across the entire life cycle. Li Qiang emphasized that it is necessary to focus on basic research and applied research, actively advance breakthroughs in key core technologies, and strive to build a high ground for rare-earth scientific and technological innovation. It is necessary to promote the deep integration of industry, academia, research, and application, expanding the application of rare earth technology in new energy, new materials, and other fields, promoting coordinated development and smooth circulation across the entire industrial chain, and continuously improving the quality and efficiency of the rare earth industry’s development. 李强指出，稀土在发展先进制造业、推动绿色低碳转型等方面的重要价值日益凸显。要合理开发稀土资源，加强统筹规划，优化产业布局，健全回收体系，提高节约集约利用水平。要坚持生态保护优先，完善生产加工各环节的绿色标准体系，促进全周期绿色化发展。李强强调，要聚焦基础研究、应用研究，积极推进关键核心技术攻关，努力打造稀土科技创新高地。要促进产学研用深度融合，拓展稀土科技在新能源、新材料等领域的应用，推动全产业链协同联动、畅通循环，不断提升稀土产业发展质量和效益。
Next, we have a report informing us that the NPCSC will be meeting for its 21st session in Beijing on February 25 and 26. This decision was made on Tuesday during a meeting of the Council of Chairpersons of the NPC Standing Committee, which was presided over by Zhao Leji.
Page 3: There’s a report on the Taiwan Affairs Work Conference, which was held in Beijing on Monday and Tuesday. Wang Huning spoke at this meeting.
“He said that it is necessary to take Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the guide, fully implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on Taiwan-related work and the Party’s overall strategy for resolving the Taiwan issue in the new era, and carry out Taiwan-related work with a high sense of responsibility and mission, firmly grasp the leading power/dominance (主导权) and initiative in cross-strait relations, and unswervingly promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and advance the great cause of national reunification.” 他表示，要以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，全面贯彻落实习近平总书记关于对台工作的重要论述和新时代党解决台湾问题的总体方略，以高度责任感和使命感做好对台工作，牢牢把握两岸关系主导权主动权，坚定不移推动两岸关系和平发展、推进祖国统一大业.
“Wang said that it is necessary to uphold the one-China principle and the ‘1992 Consensus’, unite the broad mass of Taiwan compatriots, firmly support patriotic forces for reunification on the island, resolutely strike ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist forces and oppose interference by external forces, and safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. It is necessary to uphold the concept that ‘both sides of the Strait are one family’, unblock and facilitate cross-strait personnel exchanges, expand people-to-people and grassroots exchanges across the Strait, support Taiwan residents, especially the youth, in coming to the mainland to study, work, and live, promote the joint carrying forward of Chinese culture by both sides of the Strait, and foster spiritual affinity between compatriots on both sides of the Strait. It is necessary to support the development of Taiwan businesspeople and Taiwan enterprises based in the mainland, improve policy measures that benefit Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan enterprises, deepen integrated cross-strait development, and enable compatriots on both sides of the Strait to share in the opportunities and outcomes of Chinese-style modernisation.” 王沪宁表示，要坚持一个中国原则和“九二共识”，团结广大台湾同胞，坚定支持岛内爱国统一力量，坚决打击“台独”分裂势力、反对外部势力干涉，维护台海和平稳定。要秉持“两岸一家亲”理念，畅通和便利两岸人员往来，扩大两岸民间、基层交流，支持台湾民众特别是青年来大陆学习、工作、生活，推动两岸共同弘扬中华文化，促进两岸同胞心灵契合。要支持大陆台商台企发展，完善惠及台胞台企政策措施，深化两岸融合发展，让两岸同胞共享中国式现代化机遇和成果.
Page 4: There’s a report (English report) on Wang Yi’s message at the APEC Senior Officials’ Meeting in Guangzhou. Wang said that “China will focus on the three priorities of openness, innovation, and cooperation, and advance the following key tasks” during this year:
“Firmly upholding one main goal. All parties should reaffirm the original aspirations of Asia-Pacific cooperation, focus on the future of APEC, and work toward a clear, substantive outcome document at this year’s Leaders’ Meeting. All parties should be more determined than ever to hold high the banner of building an Asia-Pacific community and explore objectives and a roadmap for community-building in the period ahead.
Exploring two key pathways. The Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) and a network of connectivity would be important underpinnings for regional economic integration. All parties should build consensus on cooperation in trade, investment, regulation, and industrial and supply chains, and explore ways to better synergize the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership to broaden the path toward the FTAAP. The APEC Connectivity Blueprint for 2015-2025 proposed at the 2014 Beijing meeting has already delivered important progress. All parties should build on that, identify more converging interests, work toward an upgraded blueprint, and make physical, institutional, and people-to-people connectivity more solid and effective.
Accelerating three major transformations. Digital, smart, and green transformations driven by innovation represent new growth drivers for APEC economies and the sure path to sustainable development. All parties should actively build science, technology, and innovation partnerships and foster an open innovation ecosystem. All parties should fully leverage their strengths in digital technologies to advance practical cooperation in cross-border e-commerce, data flows, smart customs, etc. All parties should also advocate people-centered AI and AI for good, and build greater consensus on how AI can empower growth and on AI governance rules. All parties should speed up green and low-carbon development, and put forward more cooperation initiatives in clean energy, green minerals, environmental protection, and related fields.
Deepening multifaceted cooperation. All parties should bear in mind the diversity among APEC members, and deepen practical cooperation across wide-ranging areas of governance that are integral to development. On fighting corruption, all parties should build on the outcomes and consensus from the Beijing meeting and strengthen cross-border cooperation. In response to the common development challenges confronting the entire Asia-Pacific region, all parties should deepen practical cooperation in fiscal, transportation, tourism, public health, aging, food security, and other fields. All parties should strengthen interactions among small and medium-sized enterprises and in the fields of human resources, women, youth and the media, facilitate mutual travels, and forge closer people-to-people ties.
Page 6: The entire page is dedicated to reporting around the new White Paper titled: Hong Kong: Safeguarding China’s National Security Under the Framework of One Country, Two Systems. Nearly half of the paper is dedicated to providing a timeline and official narrative of why the law was needed and what were the challenges that led to the government putting it in place.
Later the paper says:
“The Hong Kong National Security Law was enacted to address prominent issues related to national security in the implementation of One Country, Two Systems and prevent national security risks. The ultimate purpose of the law is to uphold the One Country, Two Systems principle, maintain prosperity and stability in Hong Kong, and serve the best interest of Hong Kong and its residents. Its design fully reflects the legislative principle of adhering to the foundation of one country while respecting the differences between the two systems. The Law clearly affirms that the central government has an overarching responsibility for national security affairs relating to the HKSAR, stipulates that the HKSAR has a constitutional duty to safeguard national security, and mandates the HKSAR government to exercise jurisdiction over the vast majority of criminal cases concerning offenses that endanger national security. This demonstrates the central authorities’ great trust in the region, which is an exceptional practice rarely seen among other sovereign states. The formulation and enforcement of the Law represent a steadfast commitment to, and improvement of, the One Country, Two Systems policy. Any allegation that the Law runs counter to this policy is entirely unfounded and divorced from reality”.
It adds:
“The Law has dealt a heavy blow to anti-China agitators and hostile external forces. The electoral system and local governance institutions including district councils have been systematically reshaped, and the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong has been fully applied. The Hong Kong National Security Law has brought stability to Hong Kong in a decisive move, marking a watershed in the region’s transition from chaos to order and leading the way to a new journey in the practice of One Country, Two Systems.”
Page 15: There’s a report detailing this engagement from yesterday’s MFA press conference.
“AFP: Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said yesterday that she is open to dialogue with China and that the countries will continue to exchange views. How does the Foreign Ministry view this? Is China willing to engage in dialogue with Takaichi?
Lin Jian: China has made clear its just position on this issue more than once. True dialogue is built on the basis of respecting each other and honoring the agreements made. If anyone just talks about the need for dialogue while keeping themselves busy stoking confrontation, then this so-called ‘dialogue’ is apparently unacceptable. If the Japanese side truly wants to develop the strategic relationship of mutual benefit with China, what it needs to do is simple and clear, that is, retract Takaichi’s erroneous remarks on Taiwan, abide by the four political documents between China and Japan and its own political commitments, and take concrete actions to demonstrate its sincerity for dialogue.”
Although it is not in the paper today, there was a dialogue between Executive Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu and Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri.
The MEA’s readout says:
“Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri held the India China Strategic Dialogue with his counterpart Executive Vice Foreign Minister (EVFM) of the People’s Republic of China Ma Zhaoxu on February 10, 2026. EVFM Ma Zhaoxu is in India to participate in the BRICS Sherpa Meeting from 08–10 February 2026. The two sides exchanged views on a wide gamut of issues covering bilateral, regional and international affairs. Bilateral discussions primarily focussed on the recent progress made in stabilising and rebuilding bilateral ties and ways to take bilateral engagement forward. Both sides underscored the importance of peace and tranquility in the border areas for overall progress in bilateral relations. They reiterated their commitment to implement the guidance provided by their leaders including on the need to proceed from a political and strategic direction to approach issues and concerns related to bilateral trade. Foreign Secretary noted the successful resumption of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra and hoped for the continued expansion of the scale of the Yatra. Both sides recognised the need for an early conclusion of an updated Air Services Agreement. The two sides agreed to continue to take practical steps for visa facilitation and promote people-to-people contacts. Both sides discussed multilateral cooperation, including in the context of India’s BRICS Chairship this year. The Chinese side expressed its support for a successful BRICS Summit in India. EVFM also conveyed that China understands and respects India’s aspirations for UNSC membership.”
There are some really significant aspects in the Indian readout that are missing from the Chinese side’s version, such as the reference to India’s aspirations for UNSC membership and the issue of peace and tranquillity on the boundary.
The Chinese readout says:
“Both sides had friendly, candid and in-depth communication on the international and regional situation, respective internal and external policies, international and regional issues of shared interest, and China-India relations. Both sides underlined that given the complex and profound changes in the international situation, China and India should work together to earnestly implement the important common understandings reached between President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, view and handle China-India relations from a strategic and long-term perspective, and uphold the strategic perception that China and India are cooperative partners instead of rivals, and the two countries are each other’s development opportunity instead of threat. China and India should deepen mutual trust and expand cooperation, properly manage differences, and promote the development of China-India relations along a sound and steady track. Both sides agreed to support each other’s work as the BRICS Chair for 2026 and 2027. Both sides also agreed to support multilateralism and the central role of the United Nations, strengthen unity and cooperation among the Global South, safeguard international fairness and justice, work together for a multipolar world, and make contributions to peace and development in Asia and the world at large.”
