Several high-ranking Indian officials gathered for the prestigious BRICS leaders' dinner organized by Prime Minister Modi at Bharat Mandapam in the capital on Saturday evening. The attendees, including cabinet ministers and state chief ministers, traveled together in a specially arranged bus to the venue, a departure from typical individual transport arrangements for such high-profile events.
Among those who arrived via the shared transport were Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal, along with other senior leaders. The decision to use a single charter bus for the ministers reflected coordinated logistics planning for the high-profile diplomatic gathering.
The gala dinner is part of India's engagement with fellow BRICS member nations, bringing together leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The event underscores India's role in hosting significant multilateral diplomatic functions during an active period of regional engagement.
