BRICS Summit in New Delhi adopts New Delhi Declaration
The 18th BRICS Summit, held in New Delhi on September 12-13, 2026, concluded with the adoption of the New Delhi Declaration. Under the theme ‘Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability’, the expanded bloc—now including 11 members such as Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates—aimed to strengthen the political and economic weight of the Global South.
Key outcomes of the summit included a commitment to multilateralism and the reform of international institutions. The declaration addressed emerging challenges such as artificial intelligence, critical minerals, digital security, and the energy transition. Additionally, members discussed space cooperation, including the potential for a Space Council and enhanced satellite constellation agreements.
On the economic front, the group advocated for the use of national currencies in trade to reduce dependence on the US dollar and expressed strong opposition to unilateral sanctions and economic coercion. The summit also addressed geopolitical tensions, specifically expressing concern over the escalation in the Middle East involving the United States and Israel. UN Secretary-General António Guterres described the group’s commitment to multilateralism as ‘reassuring’.
