A two-day meeting of BRICS foreign ministers in New Delhi ends without a joint statement, according to multiple reports. The ministers do not reach consensus on a common communique due to differences in their positions on the West Asia conflict, the outlets say. While the talks take place as a BRICS foreign ministers’ conclave, the absence of agreement prevents the issuance of a unified document reflecting shared positions. The reporting indicates that the core issue is not procedural, but substantive: member states hold varying views on how the West Asia conflict should be characterized and addressed. As a result, the meeting concludes without a final, collective statement.
