Story summary

The 18th BRICS Summit was held in New Delhi, India from September 9-10, bringing together leaders from an expanded group of eleven nations. The summit aimed to counterbalance the influence of the G7 and advocate for a "multipolar world," but faced internal divisions over issues like Middle East conflicts and economic governance. Despite these challenges, India managed to secure a unified joint declaration, prioritizing trade and technological cooperation while avoiding assigning blame for contentious geopolitical issues. This diplomatic achievement highlighted India's role as a bridge between competing global powers. However, experts note that BRICS remains constrained by differing national interests among its members, with key cracks in institutional modernization hindering its effectiveness compared to the G7.
