The 18th BRICS summit is set for September 12-13 in New Delhi, with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian among the leaders attending. The summit's agenda will cover the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, trade, and global financial reforms, according to The Zioneer.
The 18th BRICS summit is confirmed to take place on September 12-13 in New Delhi, with the bloc's leaders set to address the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, trade expansion, and global financial reforms. Among the leaders expected to attend are Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, according to The Zioneer.
As The Zioneer reported early Friday morning, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Putin traveled together to New Delhi for the summit and jointly visited a bilateral trade exhibition, underscoring the close ties between Moscow and New Delhi. That report, published at 01:10 Jerusalem time, marked the first confirmation of the leaders' journey to the gathering.
The summit takes place against a backdrop of intense diplomatic activity involving BRICS members. A US-Iran deal brokered by Pakistan was announced earlier this summer, as The Zioneer reported, and President Trump is preparing to host a Middle East summit in France. China has deepened its engagement with key partners, with Xi Jinping hosting Belarusian President Lukashenko in Beijing, and India recently sealed a major BrahMos missile deal with Indonesia. Iran's participation in the summit comes as it faces ongoing international scrutiny over its nuclear program.
The specific outcomes of the summit — particularly regarding the bloc's stance on the Ukraine war and proposed reforms to the international financial system — remain to be seen as leaders begin their discussions this weekend.
