India: BRICS countries agree on joint statement before summit
The BRICS want to present themselves as a geopolitical counterweight to the West at the summit. Although the declaration is supposed to condemn "unilateral wars", it does not mention those responsible.
The BRICS countries have reportedly agreed on a joint statement ahead of their summit in New Delhi, India. The draft statement condemns unilateral wars, but does not mention specific countries. The leaders of the bloc, which includes Russia, are expected to approve the statement during the day. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is said to have successfully negotiated the joint statement despite differing positions among the member states. The statement aims to demonstrate the unity of the bloc and strengthen its global significance.
