52 分钟Hello and welcome to the panel discussion of World Today, I'm Dinghen in Beijing.
Over the past few years, the China-India relationship has been warming,
with gradual restoration of dialogue and mechanisms aimed at managing their border issue.
China and India are two economic heavyweights of BRICS.
One is the host of this year's BRICS summit, while the other is set to take over the BRICS presidency next year.
How is the BRICS mechanism adding momentum to the further improvement of China-India ties?
And how can greater China-India cooperation benefit BRICS in return?
These questions and much more in this edition of the program.
To listen to this episode again or to catch upon on previous episodes,

So joining us now on the line are Professor Madhav Das Nalipat, Director of Geopolitics
and International Relations and UNESCO Peace Chair with Manipur University in India.
Zhou Buo, senior fellow of the Center for International Security and Strategy at Tsinghua University,
and Peter Chen, former deputy director of the Institute of China Studies with University of Malaya.
So thank you very much for joining us, Peter, Mr. Joe Bull, and Professor Nalapad.
Professor Nalapad, to start with you, we know it was a meeting between President Xi Jinping
and Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the 2024 BRICS summit in Russia.
That set the ball rolling on the reset and warming of the China-India relationship
since then over the past two years or so.
So in terms of the China-India bilateral relationship, how would you assess the convening power of the BRICS?
