BRICS ministers fail to issue a joint statement over differences on conflict in the Middle East

Members cited differing views on the Middle East, with one footnote noting reservations over Gaza and Red Sea language.

  • Foreign ministers from BRICS nations concluded a two-day meeting in New Delhi on Friday without a joint statement, citing "differing views among some members" on the Middle East conflict, host India reported.
  • The bloc comprises Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Ethiopia, Egypt, Iran, the UAE, and Indonesia, facing challenges maintaining unity as it seeks to expand global influence.
  • On Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged BRICS nations to condemn the U.S. and Israel for what he described as "unlawful aggression," exposing internal divisions.
  • India noted members expressed "their respective national positions" on maritime security and civilian protection, though a footnote revealed a member's reservations regarding Gaza sections.
  • Visible divisions among members have become increasingly pronounced during the conflict, particularly between Iran and the UAE, complicating unified diplomatic efforts.
