The BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting kicks off in New Delhi under India’s 2026 chairship of the group. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar will chair the high-level gathering, with participation from BRICS member countries and partner nations. Delegates are expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi during their visit.
The meeting, a key event under India’s BRICS chairship, will set the agenda for the upcoming Leaders’ Summit later this year. Discussions will focus on regional and global developments, enhancing multilateral cooperation, and reforming international governance structures. The Ministry of External Affairs confirmed the participation of senior diplomats from member nations.
Deliberations at the summit will revolve around strengthening cooperation among BRICS nations and addressing evolving geopolitical realities. The meeting is scheduled for May 14th and 15th, with India presiding over the proceedings. Participating countries will determine the level of their representation, with more details to follow upon their arrival in New Delhi.
India has unveiled the official logo and website for its BRICS 2026 chairship, themed “Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation, and Sustainability.” This theme aligns with India’s focus on a people-centric approach, as emphasized by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the 2025 BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Hosting the BRICS summit for the fourth time underscores India’s growing role within the group and among Global South nations.
