|May 13, 2026
WITH divisions over the West Asia conflict remains to be bridged, foreign ministers of the emerging economies of the BRICS bloc will gather in New Delhi on May 14 and 15 for a high-stakes meeting that is expected to test the grouping’s ability to maintain consensus on a key issue amid growing geopolitical fault lines.
Diplo-matic sources said the chances of the meeting concluding with ajoint statement remain uncertain, with sharp differences between Iran and the United Arab Emirates emerging as a major obstacle. The tensions stem from recent US-Israel attack on Iran and the return attacks on energy infrastructure in the UAE and the language to be used in the joint statement.
