Indian officials announced that a consensus has been reached on a BRICS joint statement after intensive negotiations that settled wording differences concerning the ongoing war between Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. The effort was led by Secretary (Economic Relations) Sudhakar Dalela of the Ministry of External Affairs, with support from senior MEA officials, and was bolstered by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meetings with Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Khalid bin Mohamad bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The negotiations concluded on Saturday, 12 September 2026, in Delhi, where the 11‑member BRICS grouping – now expanded to include the UAE, Iran and Saudi Arabia – convened for its summit. The joint statement, expected to be released within days, follows the summit’s agenda that featured Modi’s 10‑point proposal for global governance and reflects the collective decision of all member states.
The agreement comes after a period of heightened tension triggered by U.S.–Israel strikes on Iran and the February assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khameini, which prompted Iranian retaliation against Gulf neighbours and created discord in earlier BRICS meetings. By presenting a unified stance, the BRICS bloc aims to reinforce its relevance in global affairs and signal a coordinated approach to regional stability and diplomatic engagement.
