The facts so far

As reported. Each one links to where it comes from.

  • President Xi Jinping met with the WTO Director-General, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, during the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi.thesun.ng
  • President Xi reiterated the importance to global trade of a reformed and well-functioning multilateral trading system and China’s support.thesun.ng

Why it matters

For Xi Jinping and China, participation in these high-level BRICS discussions is critical to defining its global economic posture. By publicly supporting WTO reforms, China is positioning itself as a key driver in shaping the rules of global trade, rather than merely being subject to them.

This diplomatic engagement reinforces China's push for a multipolar world, as BRICS nations generally seek greater influence for developing economies in institutions traditionally dominated by Western powers. Xi's involvement helps solidify China's role in challenging the existing global financial and trade order.

What we don't know yet

  • Will the discussions at the BRICS Summit lead to concrete commitments on WTO reform?
  • How will China's stated support for WTO reforms be balanced against its national economic interests?

What would change this answer

The WTO Director-General publicly commits to specific reforms based on the BRICS discussions.This would strengthen the perceived impact of Xi Jinping's diplomatic efforts and China's influence on global trade governance.
Other BRICS members express strong skepticism regarding China's role in WTO reform.This could dilute the effectiveness of Xi Jinping's stated support and complicate China's negotiating position.
