NEW DELHI. – Foreign ministers from the BRICS group of emerging economies began a two-day meeting in the Indian capital, New Delhi, yesterday.
The gathering comes as the expanding bloc faces divisions over the war in Iran, rising energy prices, and growing global uncertainty.
It brings together diplomats from founding members Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, along with newer member countries. They are expected to discuss economic cooperation and coordinate their positions on key global issues.
In his opening remarks, Indian foreign minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, said peace and security issues remain central to global order.
“We meet at a time of considerable flux in international relations. Ongoing conflicts, economic uncertainties, and challenges in trade, technology, and climate are shaping the global landscape,” he said.
“There is a growing expectation, particularly from emerging markets and developing countries, that BRICS will play a constructive and stabilising role.” — africanews.com
