BRICS agrees on joint declaration before New Delhi summit: Report

Members agreed to condemn unilateral wars without naming a country, after negotiations bridged divisions between Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

  • India brokered consensus by resolving disagreements between Iran and the United Arab Emirates, who hold opposing views on West Asia conflicts. Hectic consultations ensured the bloc could address global issues despite competing geopolitical interests.
  • Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in New Delhi for his first visit in seven years, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi held earlier talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. Leaders discussed inclusive global governance and multilateralism.

  • As BRICS marks its 20th anniversary, India faces a complex diplomatic test, balancing strategic ties with Moscow and Tehran against deepening relations with the United States and Europe. Donald Trump has threatened punitive tariffs on countries aligning with the bloc.
