The upcoming BRICS Summit in New Delhi is overshadowed by the escalating Iran war, creating a challenging diplomatic landscape. India’s chairmanship aims to advance trade and economic goals, but the US-Israeli campaign against Iran has introduced significant obstacles. The conflict has not only plunged the global economy into uncertainty but also caused divisions within the BRICS bloc, with some member countries taking sides in the war.
The internal tensions within BRICS are more pronounced compared to the previous summit in Brazil, which occurred soon after the 12-Day War against Iran. The report suggests that the current situation may hinder the achievement of consensus on key objectives. As the war continues to impact global affairs, the BRICS Summit faces the challenge of navigating these geopolitical complexities while striving for economic cooperation and progress.
