BRICS nations adopt the Guwahati Declaration, which focuses on strengthening cooperation through the timely exchange of information and the sharing of best practices. The declaration highlights the need for information flows that support collective efforts while remaining aligned with each country’s legal frameworks. It also ties the proposed cooperation to compliance with national laws and relevant international obligations.

The coverage explains that the declaration is centered on improving how BRICS member states communicate and coordinate, particularly by ensuring that information is exchanged in a timely manner and that useful methods or practices are shared across countries. The emphasis on “best practices” indicates an intent to learn from each other’s experiences and apply effective approaches where appropriate.

Both summaries note that the declaration’s language frames cooperation as conditional on adherence to domestic legislation and international commitments, rather than setting out obligations that override existing legal requirements. Overall, the Guwahati Declaration is presented as a political statement aimed at enhancing BRICS collaboration through structured information exchange and mutual learning.
