Chinese President Xi Jinping touched down in New Delhi on September 12, 2026, marking the official start of the BRICS Summit 2026 hosted by India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed Xi alongside other heads of state, including leaders from Russia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia and Ethiopia, as the summit seeks to deepen trade, investment and strategic cooperation among emerging economies.
The Indian capital has been transformed into a fortified zone, with 15,000 police personnel and 200 companies of paramilitary forces deployed to secure the movement of dignitaries across the city. Late‑night arrivals on September 11 saw leaders such as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian land in Delhi, while Modi held bilateral talks with the UAE Crown Prince, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali on September 12. The Ministry of External Affairs highlighted agreements on trade, defence, semiconductors, digital economy and the establishment of an Indian consulate in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
The summit comes at a time when the BRICS bloc is positioning itself as a counterweight to Western‑led institutions, aiming to shape the global agenda for developing nations. The extensive security deployment reflects concerns over potential disruptions and underscores the importance of the event for India’s diplomatic standing. Citizens of Delhi experience heightened traffic controls and restricted zones, while the media centre at Bharat Mandapam has been equipped to serve both national and international journalists covering the proceedings.
