India Hosts 18th BRICS Summit Producing Joint Statement Amid Global Tensions
India hosted the 18th BRICS summit in New Delhi, bringing together leaders from the 11-member group and other nations. The summit produced a joint statement expressing concern over the West Asia conflict without naming parties and notably omitted mention of the Russia-Ukraine war. The event followed the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation meeting, highlighting overlapping memberships among China, Russia, India, and others. Coverage notes contrasting views on BRICS as either an aspirational forum amid internal rivalries or a China-influenced platform with anti-Western undertones.
