BRICS leaders meeting in New Delhi are expected to agree on a joint declaration condemning unilateral war by any country, according to multiple reports. The declaration is set to be finalized during the group’s summit weekend.
Reuters, citing four sources, reports that the text is unlikely to name any specific country. It would instead use language that broadly criticizes unilateral war, without singling out a party. Other outlets describing the same development similarly focus on the declaration’s intent and its emphasis on condemning unilateral conflict.
The BRICS bloc includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, as well as several additional members and partners participating in the current summit context, including Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates. While all accounts align on the planned outcome and the general wording goal, they differ mainly in how much detail they provide about whether any country is explicitly referenced.
