  "summary": "Leaders of the BRICS nations are meeting in New Delhi for a summit focused on trade, investment, and global conflicts. The bloc is seeking a bigger role in shaping the global agenda for emerging and developing countries.\n\nAccording to Live Mint, BRICS nations have reached a consensus on a joint statement after intensive negotiations that extended into the early hours of the morning. India played a central role in reconciling differences among members, including over contentious issues linked to the Iran war and wider West Asia tensions.\n\nThe joint statement is expected to be issued during the BRICS Summit in India. The agreement marks a diplomatic breakthrough for the grouping, which brings together countries with sharply different positions on some of the most pressing geopolitical issues, including Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.",
