  "account": "On the final day of the two-day BRICS summit beginning in New Delhi, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi led discussions that ended with a unified joint statement addressing the volatile Middle East conflict. While the 10 member nations refrained from naming specific countries, they called for \"maximum restraint\" and avoidance of actions which could further escalate tensions. The statement also highlighted concerns over attacks on civilian infrastructure and nuclear facilities. Intense negotiations, which extended till 4 am, saw India play a leading role in bridging differing positions between member states. The breakthrough was particularly significant given the complex geopolitical landscape, with Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE all part of the forum. The expanded BRICS bloc, comprising countries with diverse economic and strategic interests, also allowed for a diverse set of perspectives on regional issues.",
