02:05Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan left New Delhi on Saturday after taking part in the 18th BRICS summit.
Footage shows the car carrying Sheikh Khaled arriving at the airport, where he stepped out and greeted officials before boarding his plane and waving goodbye shortly before departing the Indian capital.
Sheikh Khaled headed the UAE delegation at the summit and held a series of meetings with participating leaders and senior officials, discussing ways to strengthen cooperation and issues of common interest.
India is hosting the two-day summit on September 12 and 13, bringing together leaders from a bloc that now represents nearly half the world's population and around 40 per cent of global GDP.
New Delhi's 2026 BRICS presidency is built around "Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation, and Sustainability", with India pushing for closer Global South cooperation and a bigger voice for developing economies on the world stage.
It is the first time India has hosted a summit of the expanded BRICS, now made up of 11 members alongside 10 partner countries.
BRICS began with Brazil, Russia, India and China, holding its first leaders' summit in 2009. South Africa joined the following year, before the bloc expanded sharply in 2024 and 2025.
