Putin scores a BRICS win with rare Chinese President Xi and PM Modi show of harmony | HIGHLIGHTS

Kazan: Chinese President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi used a BRICS summit in Russia on Wednesday to showcase ambitions for a more harmonious relationship between the world's two most populous countries after years of animosity. The meeting between Xi and PM Modi, who have not held formal talks for five years, was one highlight of a summit that President Vladimir Putin sought to use to show that the West had failed to isolate Russia over the Ukraine war. A final communique listed a number of projects aimed at facilitating trade between BRICS nations - including an alternative payment system to the dollar - but did not include details or timelines.
