At the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi, Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed a five-point initiative to deepen cooperation among member nations and the Global South. A central component of this plan is the creation of an open-source artificial intelligence ecosystem, which includes supporting large language model development and establishing specialized training programs.

Other key proposals from China include the establishment of a BRICS digital industry cloud platform, a partnership for Special Economic Zones, and a focus on smart manufacturing to assist in industrial upgrading. Xi also suggested a BRICS engineers training alliance and a youth scientific innovation exchange program to foster technical talent.

During the summit, leaders emphasized the need to reform global governance and multilateral institutions, such as the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, to ensure greater representation for emerging economies. Prime Minister Narendra Modi noted that the benefits of BRICS-developed solutions should be accessible to the broader Global South. The summit also highlighted the group's role in maintaining stable supply chains and fostering a more multipolar international order.
