BRICS Summit Unites for Peace Amid Middle East Tensions
Leaders also urged stronger U.N. representation for developing nations and expanded trade in national currencies as the bloc seeks greater global influence.
- On Saturday, the BRICS group of 11 emerging economies expressed concern over Middle East tensions and condemned unilateral sanctions not authorized by the Security Council during their New Delhi summit.
- India is hosting this year's summit, attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Modi, and counterparts from the other eight members to strengthen their position in global affairs.
- Speaking at the summit, Putin accused nations "accustomed to thinking in colonial categories" of using "brute force" to contain competitors, while Pezeshkian urged expanding national currency use in trade among members.
- Jinping stated China will work with members to forge peace in the Middle East, adding that BRICS countries should "serve as vanguards for maintaining peace and stability" while opposing sovereignty violations.
- Modi and Jinping are expected to hold talks later Saturday to consolidate a diplomatic thaw, as the bloc seeks to evolve into a "rule-shaper" in global governance and expand the Security Council.
