Chinese President Xi Jinping started on Monday a summit attended by more than 20 world leaders including Russia’s Vladimir Putin and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing the gathering, President Jinping criticised what he described as a “bullying behaviour” in the world order as he gathered regional leaders for a summit.
He called on the leaders — including Russia’s Vladimir Putin and India’s Narendra Modi — to “adhere to fairness and justice… oppose Cold War mentality, camp confrontation, and bullying behaviour”, in a speech in the northern city of Tianjin.
