Modi unveils New Delhi Declaration at BRICS summit, wins unanimous backing

Prime Minister Narendra Modi used the three‑day BRICS summit to introduce a comprehensive 45‑page New Delhi Declaration aimed at deepening cooperation among the five member economies. The document, covering trade, technology, climate action and security, was tabled during the summit's final plenary session. All BRICS leaders – from Brazil, Russia, China, South Africa and India – signaled their agreement by endorsing the declaration without any reservations. The unanimous approval underscores a rare moment of consensus among the bloc, which has often grappled with divergent geopolitical interests. Observers note that the declaration could serve as a template for future multilateral initiatives, reinforcing India’s role as a key architect of the group’s agenda.
