Decoding the Delhi Declaration: With Global South at Core, What BRICS Wants and How It Plans to Get There
The 11-member bloc urged reforms to the UN, IMF and World Bank while backing local-currency trade and stronger supply chains.
- On Saturday, the BRICS Summit adopted the New Delhi Declaration by consensus, marking a significant diplomatic achievement for India despite sharp differences between the United Arab Emirates and Iran over the West Asia conflict.
- Negotiations went down to the wire because BRICS operates as a consensus-based grouping where any one member can block adoption of a joint declaration, complicating efforts to unite diverse geopolitical positions.
- India showcased 37 deep-tech innovations, including AI-based healthcare systems, while the 11-member group represents more than 40% of the world's population and significant global economic weight.

- Prioritizing local-currency trade and the New Development Bank, BRICS signaled a shift away from immediate common currency goals while explicitly opposing unilateral tariffs and economic coercion affecting global markets.
