“In the few days leaders from around the world will gather for the BRICS Summit. We are confident that the summit will lead to meaningful discussions on various issues with a view to world welfare.”

The 18th BRICS Summit will be held in New Delhi on September 12 and 13. India is chairing BRICS. The meeting happens while big geopolitical tensions exist, such as the US‑Israel war against Iran problems, on energy and trade routes and still uncertain global economy.

PM Modi sent a message before an event that will bring together many powerful leaders from the expanded BRICS group. The summit is expected to be a place for talking about global governance, economic teamwork, trade, energy safety, supply lines and other worldwide problems.

BRICS Summit 2026: When Will Vladimir Putin Arrive In New Delhi?

Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in New Delhi on Friday, September 11 before the BRICS Summit. Putin is one of the highlights of the summit and the Russian leader is expected to talk one‑on‑one with Prime Minister Modi. During these talks Putin and Modi will likely discuss cooperation between India and Russia. They will also talk about major regional and international events. I feel that this conversation will strengthen ties, between Russia and India.

The Putin‑Modi meeting is very important especially because the Russia‑Ukraine war is still ongoing and global energy and trade are being affected by geopolitical tensions. I think this meeting shows how Russia and India are working together to face these challenges.
