Iran’s ‘anti-American’ rhetoric tests India’s balancing act at Brics meeting

BRICS is a grouping of major emerging economies seeking to coordinate security and economic policy in order to amplify the demands of the Global South at international organisations and on issues where the West has traditionally dominated economically and politically.

The group’s foreign ministers convene in New Delhi amid global tensions.

New Delhi: The BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting is set to begin in New Delhi on Thursday under India’s 2026 chairship of the expanded grouping, at a time when geopolitical tensions in West Asia continue to escalate.

India officially assumed the BRICS Chairmanship on January 1 this year, taking over from Brazil.
