BRICS Summit 2026 Live Updates:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will host Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and leaders from across Asia, Africa and the West Asia at a time when trade tensions, geopolitical conflicts and supply chain disruptions are reshaping global commerce. As leaders from the world's fastest-growing emerging economies gather in New Delhi for the BRICS Summit 2026, the spotlight is firmly on how the bloc plans to respond to an increasingly fragmented global economy.
The two-day summit comes against the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine war, instability in West Asia, concerns over energy security and renewed tariff pressures from the United States. With nearly half of the world's population and about 40% of global GDP represented within BRICS, the grouping is expected to focus on strengthening economic resilience, boosting trade and investment flows, enhancing supply chain security and amplifying the voice of the Global South.
India, which holds the BRICS Chairship in 2026, has prioritised practical solutions in areas such as food security, energy access, technology cooperation and sustainable growth. The summit is also likely to address reforms in global governance institutions and efforts to make developing economies less vulnerable to external shocks. As the New Delhi Declaration takes shape, the outcome of the summit will be closely watched for signals on the future role of BRICS in an increasingly multipolar world.
