India Invites Bangladesh PM Tarique Rahman to BRICS Summit and Bilateral Visit

The BRICS Summit, scheduled for September 12-13, will address global challenges including the West Asia crisis. India’s Ministry of External Affairs confirmed that such invitations align with standard BRICS outreach practices, with other regional leaders similarly invited.
