BRICS table gets bigger with Guterres joining
The 18th BRICS Summit, scheduled to take place in New Delhi from September 12-13, will see the participation of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. India, which is hosting the summit this year, will be led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Guterres, whose term as UN Secretary-General concludes in December 2026, will join leaders from BRICS member and partner countries, as well as outreach invitees, at the event.
His role at the summit comes amid the committee's theme of "Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability." The summit will also mark the 20th anniversary of the BRICS alliance, a grouping comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
