India-hosted BRICS in New Delhi seeks emerging economies' finance voice
India is gearing up to host the BRICS summit in New Delhi on September 12-13, 2026. The main focus? Giving emerging economies a bigger say in global finance.
Prime Minister Modi pointed out that BRICS covers one-half of the world's population and a huge share of global GDP and trade, so this gathering really matters.
Summit highlights innovation and trade
This year's summit will spotlight innovation, secure trade routes, and freedom of navigation. It'll also feature the biggest BRICS Business Forum ever.
Leaders like S Jaishankar are pushing for resilience and sustainability. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal wants stronger supply chains among member countries, while Shashi Tharoor hopes BRICS stays non-Western but not anti-West, showing India's careful balancing act on the world stage.
