The BRICS Foreign Ministers Meeting in New Delhi, chaired by India, demonstrated resilience despite sharp divisions among member nations, particularly concerning the West Asia conflict. While a traditional joint declaration was not issued, ministers adopted a Chair's Statement and Outcome Document, reflecting common positions on most issues, showcasing India's diplomatic approach of focusing on convergence.

  • The meeting included eleven members and partner nations with diverse strategic interests, making consensus on broad institutional priorities a significant diplomatic achievement.
  • External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar acknowledged differing views on West Asia but highlighted discussions emphasizing diplomacy, sovereignty, maritime security, civilian protection, and regional stability.
  • India's leadership aimed to insulate BRICS' long-term objectives from prevailing conflicts, reflecting a foreign policy principle under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
  • The expanded BRICS gathering was anticipated to be challenging due to member nations holding sharply differing positions on major international issues, including the conflict in West Asia.
  • Saudi Arabia and the UAE maintain close relations with the United States and Israel, while Iran is on the opposing side of the regional divide.
