BRICS Summit 2026 to Issue New Delhi Declaration

World leaders from the BRICS bloc are preparing to gather in New Delhi for the 2026 BRICS Summit, where a formal joint declaration is expected to anchor the agenda, according to reporting from The Hindu BusinessLine. The summit marks a significant moment for the alliance as it continues to expand its global diplomatic footprint and assert collective positions on international economic and political matters.

New Delhi's role as host signals India's continued centrality within the BRICS framework, a coalition that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, along with newer member nations added in recent expansion rounds. Hosting the summit positions India to shape the tone and priorities of the final declaration, which typically addresses trade, development finance, geopolitical stability, and reform of multilateral institutions.
