BRICS Summit Concludes, Delhi Declaration Adopted, Presidency Handed To China

Visuals from Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi show the second and concluding day of the 18th BRICS Summit under India's presidency.

During his address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted that global conflicts have far-reaching consequences and are not restricted to specific regions, urging action to limit their fallout.

Emphasising that the world is undergoing a tense phase alongside global challenges like pandemics and climate change, he stressed the need for dependable supply chains, noting how crises like the West Asia conflict impact uninvolved nations.

Outlining India's focus on four key pillars—resilience, innovation, cooperation, and sustainability—PM Modi stated that partner support has helped turn a shared vision into a win-win collaboration.

A consensus-based joint declaration is also expected on the final day of the summit, addressing regional conflicts including the situation involving Israel in the context of Lebanon.
