Will be forced to defend Pak, if India rakes it up at BRICS: China

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in China for the BRICS summit starting September 3.

China does not want India to speak about the Pakistan issue during the upcoming BRICS summit. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in China for the BRICS summit starting September 3.

"We also noticed that India, when it comes to Pakistan's counter-terrorism, has some concerns. I don't think this is an appropriate topic to be discussed at BRICS summit," Hua Chunying, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, said at a briefing. She also indicated that raising the topic might affect the success of the summit because Chinese leaders may be forced to defend its close ally, Pakistan.

"The world is paying great attention to the BRICS summit. I hope relevant parties can work with China to ensure the success of the summit and make due contributions," Hua said.

Hua said, "Pakistan is at forefront of counter terror efforts and has made sacrifices for this. The international community should recognize their contributions and sacrifices made by Pakistan."
