Modi Says BRICS Must Turn Summit Outcomes Into Action
BRICS is a group of countries that works together on shared problems.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the group should do more than hold meetings and write documents.
He called BRICS an “ecosystem of solutions.”
The leaders agreed on a plan called the New Delhi Declaration.
Modi said the plan should lead to actions that happen on time.
He also said these actions should help people in real life.
Leaders from member and partner countries attended the two-day meeting in New Delhi.
China is expected to host the next BRICS summit.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said BRICS has become an “ecosystem of solutions,” not merely a grouping of nations.
Modi urged members to convert the New Delhi Declaration and other summit outcomes into time-bound actions with real-world impact.
Leaders unanimously adopted the New Delhi Declaration on the first day of the 18th BRICS Summit.
The two-day summit in New Delhi brought together BRICS members, partner countries, outreach invitees and international-organization heads.
China will host the next BRICS summit after India’s 2026 chairmanship and New Delhi summit.
