BRICS agrees on joint declaration before New Delhi summit: Report
The bloc overcame divisions over the Iran war and sanctions after more than four days of talks, officials said.
- On Saturday, BRICS leaders unanimously adopted the New Delhi Declaration, strongly condemning the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 26 people and left scores injured.
- India, serving as this year's BRICS chair, successfully brokered consensus after foreign ministers' meetings in May failed to produce joint statements due to sharp divisions between Iran and the United Arab Emirates over West Asia conflicts.
- The declaration mandates 'zero tolerance' toward state-sponsored cross-border terrorism and welcomes activities of the BRICS Counter-Terrorism Working Group to disrupt financing networks and dismantle safe havens.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged member nations to translate commitments into tangible results, emphasizing the bloc must evolve into a 'rule-shaper' in global governance ensuring the Global South has greater voice.
- Beyond security priorities, the summit prioritized economic cooperation through expanded use of national currencies among members and called for reforms to the United Nations, with China scheduled to host next year's summit.
