Delhi Welcomes BRICS Top Diplomats for Key Two-Day Meet

Geopolitical fault lines in West Asia provide the backdrop as New Delhi opens its doors to BRICS foreign ministers on May 14. India, at the helm of the group’s presidency, hosts this crucial two-day dialogue led by EAM S. Jaishankar.

Senior envoys and ministers from the expanded BRICS family are converging on the city, with more arrivals expected. This ministerial huddle precedes the annual summit, aiming to align strategies on pressing world matters.

MEA’s weekly briefing shed light on the expansive agenda: from regional flashpoints to enhancing intra-BRICS synergy and overhauling outdated international frameworks. Countries decide their delegation heads independently.

India’s proactive role shines through its recent BRICS 2026 unveilings, themed around ‘humanity first’ – a mantra PM Modi championed in Rio last year. Visitors will also engage with the Prime Minister, amplifying bilateral gains.

This is India’s fourth BRICS summit stewardship, a testament to its pivotal position bridging the Global South’s aspirations. Amid Middle East unrest, the forum offers a platform for balanced perspectives and collective resolve.

Discussions promise depth, covering trade, security, and sustainable development. As the world watches, this meet could catalyze BRICS’ evolution into a stronger counterweight in global affairs, prioritizing multipolar equity.
