Diplomatic preparations for BRICS Summit in India

Overview

Diplomatic activity surrounding the upcoming 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi, scheduled for September 12-13, 2026, has intensified. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is expected to participate in the summit, which is themed ‘Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability’.

Preparations for the summit have seen significant high-level engagements. Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to attend with a delegation of approximately 400 officials, a move that may signal stabilizing relations between Beijing and New Delhi following prior border disputes.

In Moscow, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss bilateral cooperation in the energy, trade, and nuclear sectors. This meeting served as a precursor to the summit, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to host President Putin. These discussions continue to build on the previously established bilateral trade target of $100 billion set for 2030.
