BRICS Adopts Delhi Declaration, Targets Unilateral Tariffs And Backs UN Security Council Reforms

On the second and final day of the BRICS Summit 2026 in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to hold seven bilateral meetings with leaders from countries including Kazakhstan, South Africa, and Egypt.

Following an open session on resilience and inclusive growth at Bharat Mandapam, the Prime Minister will deliver his closing remarks and officially hand over the BRICS chair to China.

The summit reached a major diplomatic milestone with the unanimous adoption of a 45-page joint declaration.

The declaration condemns terrorism, including the Pahalgam attack, addresses the West Asia conflict, and rejects unilateral tariffs while advocating for dialogue over escalation.

Amid ongoing global conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war, the Delhi declaration reflects India's diplomatic efforts to foster consensus among diverse member nations and partner states, promoting multilateralism, trade cooperation, and inclusive economic growth across the Global South.
