00:42Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the foreign ministers of the BRICS nations, including Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi and Russian FM Sergey Lavrov, to New Delhi on Thursday for a high-stakes ministerial meeting unfolding under the shadow of intense regional conflict.
The summit, chaired by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, marks a pivotal moment for the expanded 11-member bloc as it navigates significant global flux and energy insecurity.
A central focus of the gathering is the presence of Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, whose participation comes as the world monitors the ongoing instability in the Gulf and Iran’s influence over the Strait of Hormuz.
This meeting represents the first time that officials from Iran and the UAE have met face-to-face since the outbreak of recent hostilities involving the US and Israel earlier this year.
While the summit’s formal agenda emphasises ‘Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability,’ the discussions are heavily influenced by the economic and security implications of the current conflict.
Diplomats from member states, including Russia’s Sergey Lavrov and Brazil’s Mauro Vieira, are engaged in talks aimed at addressing these disruptions while preparing for the full BRICS heads-of-state summit scheduled for September.
