BRICS leaders have adopted the New Delhi Declaration at the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi, reaffirming their commitment to multilateral cooperation, sustainable development and reforms to global governance. The declaration outlines shared positions on international security, trade, economic cooperation and development priorities for the expanded BRICS grouping.
The document calls for a more representative international order, stronger cooperation among emerging economies and continued support for the United Nations, while highlighting priorities including innovation, resilience and inclusive economic growth.
It also addresses issues ranging from global trade and financial reform to conflicts, food security, health, energy, technology and climate cooperation.
Key developments
- BRICS reaffirmed support for reforming global governance and strengthening multilateral institutions.
- Leaders endorsed closer cooperation on trade, finance, innovation, health, food and energy security.
- The declaration outlines common positions on major international security and development challenges.
The New Delhi Declaration reflects BRICS’ continued ambition to position itself as a leading voice for the Global South and advocate for reforms to international institutions established after the Second World War. While the grouping continues to expand cooperation, its diverse membership and differing national interests mean translating broad political consensus into coordinated action will remain a key challenge.
Nevertheless, BRICS’ growing economic weight and diplomatic influence ensure it is likely to remain an increasingly significant forum in debates over the future of global governance and the evolving multipolar international order.
