New Delhi, September 12, 2026 - The Congress party has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to leverage India's upcoming chairmanship of the BRICS group to rebuild its diplomatic standing among Global South nations. In a statement, Salman Khurshid, chairperson of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) Foreign Affairs department, emphasized the need for India to demonstrate consistent and consequential action, beyond mere declarations of solidarity.
Khurshid criticized the current BJP government's limited diplomatic role in the ongoing West Asia conflict, particularly its reluctance to forge consensus among BRICS members and inadequate support for South Africa during pressure from external powers. The Congress outlined four key areas of focus for India's BRICS chairmanship: rebuilding trust among Global South partners, addressing trade imbalances, securing supply chains and financial safety nets, and promoting statesmanship through constructive multilateralism.
The party argued that India's leadership of the grouping presents an opportunity to assert its strategic interests while strengthening credibility among developing countries.
