Preparations for the upcoming 18th BRICS Summit, scheduled for September 12-13, 2026, at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, have intensified. As the chair of the 11-member bloc, India has facilitated over 350 high-level meetings across more than 25 cities to advance strategic ~~partnerships.~~ partnerships in politics, security, economy, and culture. Current diplomatic efforts via the Sherpa channel aim to build consensus on a joint statement covering the West Asia crisis, civilian protection, and the movement of waterways.
