United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres will attend the 18th BRICS Summit, which India will host on September 12-13 in New Delhi. The summit will be held at Bharat Mandapam, marking a significant diplomatic event for the grouping of major emerging economies.
As chair of BRICS this year, India is organizing the two-day summit to bring together leaders of the five member nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—alongside representatives from partner countries and outreach invitees. The participation of the UN Secretary-General underscores the international significance of the gathering and reflects BRICS' growing role in global affairs.
The summit is expected to address key issues facing the international community, with discussions anticipated on economic cooperation, development challenges, and regional security matters. India's chairmanship has emphasized strengthening South-South cooperation and enhancing dialogue between BRICS and the broader Global South.
The New Delhi summit follows previous BRICS meetings and represents a continuation of the bloc's efforts to provide an alternative forum for cooperation among developing nations and emerging markets.
