BRICS Leaders Gather in New Delhi as Wars and Rivalries Strain the Expanded Bloc
Wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are complicating BRICS efforts to unite on alternatives to Western-dominated financial systems.
- On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian arrived in New Delhi for the BRICS Summit as wars in Ukraine and the Middle East test the group's unity.
- The coalition has expanded to include 11 nations representing the Global South, yet internal divisions persist as members with competing regional ambitions struggle to find consensus on geopolitical strategy.
- Host India seeks to manage relations with primary strategic rival China while maintaining partnerships with the United States, emphasizing the summit is not a binary choice between Western and non-Western blocs.
- Members are exploring alternatives to Western-dominated financial systems to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar, though experts note implementation remains difficult due to differing economic systems and priorities.
- Analyst Praveen Donthi suggests success depends on incremental geopolitical gains; if the gathering remains merely a "periodic talking shop and photo ops," as the Winnipeg Free Press noted, its relevance will erode.
