The BRICS coalition of countries unanimously approved a joint statement on Saturday, voicing "deep concern" over the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The declaration, unveiled on the inaugural day of the BRICS leaders' annual summit held in New Delhi, calls for "maximum restraint" and a "multilateral approach" that acknowledges diverse perspectives.
This development arrives during a period when the United States and Iran have resumed a cycle of retaliatory strikes, following a lull in hostilities throughout most of August.
Comprising Iran and the United Arab Emirates, both allies of Washington, the BRICS grouping was anticipated to pose a significant challenge in reaching a unified declaration. The "New Delhi Declaration," as it is known, underscores the bloc's dedication to resolving global disputes through "dialogue, consultation, and diplomacy."
It also highlights apprehensions about the emergence of "unilateral tariff and non-tariff measures" that disrupt trade, particularly in response to U.S. sanctions imposed on Tehran due to its war with Iran, and Russia's conflict with Ukraine.
