- India has invested heavily in the BRICS summit's success and needs the meeting to go smoothly as the current host, according to the article.
- China also needs the summit to succeed, with Beijing preparing for its own turn at the BRICS chair next year, framing the dynamic as needing the institution to work rather than needing mutual trust.
Why it matters: The piece recasts India-China ties as pragmatic institutional cooperation: both want BRICS functioning because Delhi wants a successful host year and Beijing wants the bloc in good shape when it takes over the rotating chair next year, separate from their bilateral tensions.
