Chinese President Xi Jinping will not attend the upcoming BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro next week.<\/p>\n

According to multiple sources cited<\/a><\/span> by the South China Morning Post<\/em> on Tuesday, this marks the first time Xi will miss the gathering of leaders from major emerging economies.<\/p>\n

Officials familiar with the matter stated that Beijing informed the Brazilian government of a scheduling conflict. Premier Li Qiang is expected to lead the Chinese delegation in Xi’s place, a similar arrangement to the 2023 G20 summit in India.<\/p>\n

Chinese officials involved in the preparations suggested Xi’s absence is due to his two meetings with Brazilian President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva within the past year. The first occurred during the G20 summit and a state visit to Bras\u00edlia last November, while the second took place at the China-CELAC forum in Beijing this May.<\/p>\n

Xi has never before missed a BRICS summit. In 2023, he was scheduled to deliver a speech at the meeting in South Africa but, at the last minute, sent Commerce Minister Wang Wentao instead. Beijing provided no official explanation for the change.<\/p>\n

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Xi participated in BRICS meetings virtually, with Russia hosting in 2020 and China in 2021.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the Brazilian Foreign Ministry told the Post<\/em> it “would not comment on the internal deliberations of foreign delegations.” The Chinese embassy in Brazil did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

However, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun told the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo<\/em>, “information regarding participation in the summit will be shared at the appropriate time.” Guo added that China supports Brazil’s BRICS presidency and aims to “promote deeper cooperation” among member nations. “In a volatile and turbulent world, the BRICS countries are maintaining their strategic resolve and working together for global peace, stability, and development,” he said.<\/p>\n

In Bras\u00edlia, officials have not concealed their disappointment regarding Xi’s absence. A source informed the Post<\/em> that Lula had traveled to Beijing in May as a “show of goodwill” and had hoped “the Chinese president would reciprocate the gesture by attending the Rio summit.”<\/p>\n

There was also speculation that Lula’s invitation to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a state dinner after the BRICS summit may have influenced Beijing’s decision, as Xi might have been “perceived as a supporting actor” at the event.<\/p>\n

Lula’s special adviser for international relations, Celso Amorim, met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing, where he clearly expressed Brazil’s desire to host Xi. “I told them, ‘BRICS without China is not BRICS,'” Amorim stated, recalling that then-President Hu Jintao attended the first BRICS summit in Brazil despite a major earthquake in China at the time. “He only stayed for one day, but he came.”<\/p>\n

Amorim emphasized the particular importance of Xi’s attendance in the current global context, citing the “US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement<\/em> and the World Health Organization” as a “violation of international rules.”<\/p>\n

Premier Li is expected to arrive in Brazil next weekend for the summit, which is scheduled for July 6 and 7 in Rio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
