Putin to Visit India for Brics Summit on Sept 12-13
The visit will test BRICS unity as the bloc’s 11 members navigate internal divisions and competing positions on global conflicts, officials said.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend the BRICS Summit in New Delhi on September 12 and 13, 2026, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov confirmed on Tuesday.
- India hosts Russia while managing Western ties, focusing on defence, energy, and a $100 billion trade target; Putin's visit will reinforce the 'privileged strategic partnership' between Moscow and New Delhi.
- To address lopsided trade where crude oil accounts for roughly 90 per cent of imports, India and Russia adopted a co-production model involving Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and United Aircraft Corporation.
- The expanded BRICS bloc now includes 11 nations, though internal disagreements over global conflicts complicate consensus; External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar recently called for 'practical ways' to navigate geopolitical tensions.
- Hosting Putin tests whether India can preserve BRICS as a Global South platform while managing competing interests; India is not a member of the International Criminal Court, enabling the visit.
