BRICS Foreign Ministers Endorse Multipolar Governance at Meeting

BRICS foreign ministers issued a joint outcome document, released by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, that promotes a multipolar world order and calls for "more just, equitable, agile, effective, efficient, responsive, representative, legitimate, democratic and accountable" global governance. The statement frames the proposed system as a response to complex, interlinked global challenges and links it to the United Nations Charter and the UN Security Council.

The ministers expressed "deep concern" over recent developments in the Middle East and North Africa, noting differing views among members. While the document does not name Iran, it references Cuba, Syria, Sudan and Lebanon, and calls for peaceful resolution of conflicts, UN peacekeeping missions, post‑conflict reconstruction, and highlights concern over the situation in Gaza.
