The BRICS group of nations has unanimously adopted a joint declaration, calling for calm in the Middle East and stressing the need to work together to maintain the smooth flow of global trade, supply chains and energy.
The summit launched on Saturday in New Delhi, with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosting the two-day meeting. China’s President Xi Jinping, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian are among those attending.
The presidency of the 11-member bloc has passed to New Delhi at a difficult moment, with wars in the Middle East and Ukraine disrupting energy and shipping, tariffs squeezing members, and BRICS countries at odds over how to answer either challenge.
Saturday’s declaration voiced “deep concern over the continued escalation of tensions” across the Middle East, calling for “maximum restraint” and warning against deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure and on nuclear facilities, in particular.
It reiterated the bloc’s position on Palestine, expressing “firm opposition” to the forced displacement of Palestinians, and changing the geography or demography of the occupied territory.
