AGENDA<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

14\u201315 May \u2013 <\/strong>BRICS+: new candidates, new challenges<\/p>\n

The BRICS foreign ministers are meeting on 14 and 15 May 2026 in New Delhi under the Indian presidency, a gathering taking place against the backdrop of the group\u2019s growing influence, now expanded to include Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. For India, the stakes are as much diplomatic as they are strategic and New Delhi is seeking to present itself as a balancing power, capable of engaging in dialogue with the West, Russia, China, the Middle East and the Global South. The meeting will be chaired by the Indian Foreign Minister, S. Jaishankar, whilst the delegations will be received by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The expected presence of the Iranian Foreign Minister lends this meeting a particularly sensitive dimension. For India, which is heavily dependent on energy imports from the Gulf, the stability of the Strait of Hormuz remains a major issue, and this meeting will test the ability of the expanded BRICS to coordinate their positions on major international crises. For New Delhi, it is also an opportunity to bolster its image as a pivotal power in the multipolar world. This ministerial meeting is unlikely to single-handedly upend the international order, but it sends an important political signal: the BRICS are seeking to organise themselves as a bloc capable of wielding significant influence. It will be interesting to closely monitor the United Arab Emirates\u2019 contribution to this meeting: will their apparent alignment with the West, signalled by their departure from OPEC, be counterbalanced by a firm commitment to the BRICS+? Or will they also call the latter into question?<\/p>\n
