Iran, UAE hold first talks at BRICS summit since conflict began

The leaders discussed de-escalation, humanitarian access and regional stability, while BRICS adopted a declaration calling for maximum restraint and civilian protection.

  • On Saturday, India facilitated a rare face-to-face meeting between Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and UAE Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in New Delhi.
  • This diplomatic encounter occurred against the backdrop of the ongoing West Asia war, which has strained relations between Tehran and Abu Dhabi while exposing divisions within the increasingly diverse BRICS grouping.
  • Experts caution the discussion does not signal a breakthrough in bilateral relations, but rather illustrates how multilateral forums like BRICS create diplomatic space between nations with deep, ongoing tensions.
  • The two leaders discussed regional and international issues of mutual interest, stressing the need to ease tensions and promote stability, according to the Abu Dhabi media office.
  • Separately, BRICS leaders adopted the New Delhi Declaration 2026, expressing serious concern over deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure and nuclear facilities while urging adherence to international law.
