India Invites Russia for BRICS Summit in New Delhi: Report

India has invited Xi Jinping, and the summit is expected to draw expanded BRICS leaders as tensions over the border dispute continue.

  • New Delhi will host the BRICS Summit on September 12 and 13, 2026, with Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed to attend and Chinese President Xi Jinping expected to visit, marking his first trip to India since 2020.
  • Xi's potential visit follows the most serious deterioration in India-China relations in decades, triggered by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. Bilateral visits were suspended after the military confrontation along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh.
  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Xi have maintained dialogue through multilateral forums, including the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and G20. Modi visited China in 2025 for the Tianjin SCO Summit, his first trip there in nearly seven years.
  • Expansion of the BRICS bloc, which added Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the UAE, and Indonesia by 2025, has increased its global influence. The upcoming summit will focus on cooperation among emerging economies and global governance reforms.
  • While Iran is expected to send a delegation, Bangladesh is currently reviewing an invitation from India. Leaders will address bilateral ties and ongoing border standoff issues during the summit proceedings in New Delhi.
