China to lead BRICS in 2027 as leaders discuss food security
At the 2026 BRICS Summit in New Delhi, leaders discussed the future direction of the bloc and the Global South. Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that China is prepared to assume the BRICS chairmanship in 2027 and will host the 19th BRICS Summit. Xi proposed several cooperation agendas, including an initiative for AI-enabled industrialization and efforts to safeguard regional peace and stability.
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto highlighted Indonesia's economic transformation, noting the country has shifted from a major importer of grains, rice, and corn to an exporter. He emphasized Indonesia's readiness to contribute to global food security and urged BRICS members to optimize their interconnected supply chains and joint industrialization.
Prabowo also called on member states to leverage their collective control over critical minerals and energy resources to build a green economy. He urged the bloc to turn shared vulnerabilities, such as climate change and natural disaster risks, into economic strengths through innovation, resilience, and inclusive development.
