Tides Of Power Are Shifting South, The Shores: BRICS Or SCO Remain Undecided

New Delhi recently witnessed the conclusion of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit held in Tianjin, China, on September 1, 2025. The summit was marked by a grand Victory Day parade that highlighted Beijing’s military might and emphasized Global South solidarity. A few days after this event, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva of Brazil visited Beijing, expressing interest in strengthening ties with the SCO. The South American leader’s move indicates the growing interest of non-Asian countries in aligning with this powerful regional bloc.
