Saudi Foreign Minister arrives in New Delhi for the BRICS summit, marking the start of a major diplomatic gathering. The summit, held in the Indian capital, brings together leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, along with guest nations such as the UAE and Iran.

During the summit, BRICS nations issued a joint declaration, signaling a shift in their stance on regional conflicts. The UAE and Iran, which had previously taken firm positions, now support a call for maximum restraint in the Middle East. This move reflects a broader effort to promote stability and cooperation in the region.

In addition to the main summit, the BRICS business forum opened in New Delhi, focusing on strengthening trade ties through digital technology. The summit also saw a high-profile meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping, aimed at improving relations strained by a past border clash.

The BRICS group continues to emphasize its role in shaping global economic and political agendas, with discussions centered on trade, investment, and global conflicts. The summit underscores the bloc’s growing influence and its commitment to fostering dialogue and collaboration among its members.
