BRICS leaders unanimously adopt a joint declaration on Saturday during the first day of the group’s annual summit in New Delhi, expressing “deep concern” about the war in the Middle East. The declaration calls for “maximum restraint” and urges states to avoid actions that could further escalate tensions.
The statement also advocates a “multilateral approach” that takes into account different national viewpoints. It comes as the United States and Iran resume tit-for-tat strikes following a pause in fighting during much of August, according to the reporting. The outlets agree that the declaration is aimed at reflecting collective concern rather than endorsing any single country’s position.
While the core message—concern and restraint—remains consistent across the coverage provided, the reporting highlights different dimensions of context, including the timing of the declaration and the immediate regional backdrop of renewed U.S.-Iran tensions. No further details about specific policy measures beyond the call for restraint are described in the supplied excerpts.
