BRICS foreign ministers have concluded a two-day meeting in New Delhi, India. The gathering took place ahead of the BRICS summit scheduled for September 2026 in India.
The agenda was dominated by disruptions to oil supplies and the conflict in the Gulf, bringing Iran and the UAE face-to-face. During the proceedings, India faced the challenge of bridging deep divisions among members who remain split over the Middle East conflict.
Ultimately, the foreign ministers failed to reach a consensus, and the meeting ended without a joint statement. These results expose deep divisions within the bloc regarding the conflict in Iran and differing views on the Middle East.
