"“We meet at a time of considerable flux in international relations,” Jaishankar said in his opening remarks. “There is a growing expectation, particularly from emerging markets and developing countries, that BRICS will play a constructive and stabilizing role,” he said. His call for stability comes amid internal divisions within the grouping that has expanded over the course of the years."
"Jaishankar called for “safe, unimpeded maritime flows” through international waters, including the Strait of Hormuz, as the politically divided BRICS nations gathered in New Delhi. His remarks linked stability to the ability to keep trade routes open despite regional tensions. The Strait of Hormuz reference placed Middle East security directly into BRICS priorities."
"Jaishankar also called on leaders to “address the increasing resort to unilateral coercive measures and sanctions inconsistent with international law and the UN Charter.” The statement framed sanctions as a legal and governance concern rather than only an economic tool. It positioned BRICS as a bloc seeking rules-based conduct while navigating major-power conflicts."
"Experts now fear that the grouping may struggle to agree on a common formulation to even describe US-Isarel war on Iran and the broader conflict in the Middle East. BRICS members Iran and UAE were especially at odds ahead of the meeting because of the Iran war. The expanded membership increases the range of positions within the bloc."
Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar called for safe, unimpeded maritime flows through international waters, including the Strait of Hormuz, as BRICS nations met in New Delhi. He said international relations are in flux and that emerging markets and developing countries expect BRICS to play a constructive, stabilizing role. The grouping faces internal divisions, especially between Iran and the UAE, amid the Iran war. Concerns exist that BRICS may struggle to agree on common language regarding the US-Israeli war on Iran and the broader Middle East conflict. Jaishankar also urged leaders to address unilateral coercive measures and sanctions that conflict with international law and the UN Charter. The meeting occurs alongside disruptions to oil, gas, and raw material supplies and includes energy security priorities.
