As an independent country, it is the consensus of the international community to maintain a certain degree of diplomatic etiquette, but if it is too ostentatious, it will also attract criticism, so it must grasp a certain degree.
In this BRICS summit, the diplomatic etiquette of various countries has aroused heated discussions, among which the actions of the Indian side are very worthy of scrutiny, after all, there were some episodes before the summit.
The first is that the summit is hosted by South Africa, and India is invited to come as a guest, but the atmosphere is a little wrong before getting off the plane, because Modi feels that South Africa is too contemptuous of India and is unwilling to step off the plane.
This also made the people who picked up the plane below feel a little embarrassed, and after informing the upper level, the South African side sent more senior officials to receive the Indian side, and then Modi slowly walked down from the plane.
Many have disputed the move, with some believing it to be the right way to preserve status, while others believe that it has lowered the Indian side and damaged relations between the two countries.
However, the diplomatic etiquette of the Indian side did not end here, when the president of South Africa led the guests to the council chamber to sit down, I don't know if it was in retaliation for South Africa's rude behavior when the plane was picked up just now, the Indian side directly crossed the organizer and walked in the front.
And this reflects something, the previous things South Africa has made a timely and appropriate treatment, and each country's customs, social concepts are different, many times to maintain a common ground while reserving differences attitude.
Even in the seemingly harmonious family of the BRICS countries, there are times when there are differences and disagreements, so we cannot rely on temporary conflicts to act on a temporary conflict, we must maintain a certain respect for all countries, and only then can other countries respect you.
However, the Indian side obviously did not make a move in line with the style of an independent country, and grabbing the position of the organizer is an ungood behavior in the culture of that country, not to mention that the attitude of the Indian side is still arrogant at this time, and it seems to be independent outside the collective.
The BRICS summit is here to talk freely about cooperation and expand membership, not for the Indian side to come here to play prestige, and the Indian side itself should abandon the idea of using the BRICS organization as a tool to expand its influence as soon as possible.
Previously, the Indian side prevented the expansion of the BRICS organization because it did not want to make its voice less than one-fifth, and now there seem to be some remaining problems after the change, which is very detrimental to the cooperation of the BRICS group and should be changed as soon as possible.
Fortunately, no one affected the outcome of the subsequent meeting, and the expansion of the BRICS organization was successfully completed, and we can look forward to a broader prospect of cooperation and cooperation in the future.
However, even if these episodes did not affect the overall process of the meeting, the truth of water drops and stones is something that everyone who is in cooperation should know, and this time the Indian side and the South African side had two unpleasant things.
Will it have an impact on the future exchanges and cooperation of the BRICS countries? After all, the Indian side refuted the face of the South African side, and after the South African side made concessions, he himself went one step further.
It can be said that the Indian side has exposed what he thinks in his heart, and it seems that he still has some opinions on the expansion of the BRICS membership, otherwise he will definitely maintain a joyful attitude to face this meeting, instead of showing a little contradiction and then amplifying it.
It is difficult to understand what the Indian side is thinking about the next move on the basis of what it is, it is obviously a meeting to promote cooperation, but it has been put into a meeting by the Indian side to find differences among other countries, and the news that there are some disagreements between South Africa and India is likely to be transmitted.
In other words, for some new members, there may be a deep contradiction between the original members, and then whether there will be a bias problem within the organization, although it is very troublesome, but this is the so-called politics.
And our side is also well aware of this, even if the problem of the Sino-Indian border has made the Indian side purchase the air defense S-400 system to upgrade the air defense system, but at this meeting we did not intend to trip up the Indian side or anything.
Because we know that it is necessary to maintain basic diplomatic relations and diplomatic etiquette in public, even China and the United States have conveyed to the outside world that the United States is actively seeking dialogue, and China has put forward some requirements.
This is a diplomatic gesture between major powers, and if it is too ostentatious, it will attract too much attention in the international community, which is very detrimental to the development of the country, because the higher you stand, the more people can see you.
The increasingly cooperative social and international situation means that we must not go the road to success alone, but unite the forces that are as united as possible, and then go down hand in hand.
Now, when the United States and Western countries have not realized this, it is actually a good opportunity for our side to take this opportunity to expand the field of diplomacy, and maintaining basic humility in international diplomacy is also one of the requirements.
