India will host the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in New Delhi on Thursday under its 2026 chairship of the expanded grouping, as global attention shifts towards rising geopolitical tensions in West Asia and other international challenges.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will chair the high-level two-day meeting, which will bring together foreign ministers, senior diplomats and representatives from BRICS member nations and partner countries.
Several delegations have already arrived in the national capital ahead of the important ministerial gathering.
Delegates attending the summit are also expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi during their visit to New Delhi.
The meeting marks India’s first major ministerial engagement under its BRICS 2026 chairship and will help shape the agenda for the BRICS Leaders’ Summit later this year.
The Ministry of External Affairs said discussions will focus on regional and global developments, strengthening multilateral cooperation and reforms in international governance structures amid evolving geopolitical challenges.
The MEA stated that participating nations would decide the level of their respective representation, with further details regarding delegations expected after all representatives arrive in the capital.
India recently unveiled the official logo and dedicated website for its BRICS 2026 chairship under the theme ‘Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability’.
Officials said the theme reflects India’s ‘Humanity First’ and people-centric approach, which Prime Minister Modi strongly highlighted during the 2025 BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro.
This will be the fourth occasion on which India hosts a BRICS summit-level engagement, underlining New Delhi’s growing influence within the grouping and its expanding leadership role among countries of the Global South.
