Gathered in New Delhi on September 12 and 13, 2026, BRICS leaders adopted a joint declaration calling for the reform of international institutions, an increase in the influence of the Global South, the elimination of economic sanctions not authorized by the UN Security Council, and the resolution of conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi focused his remarks at the BRICS summit on the imbalance between the Global South's actual weight and the limited influence it wields within international institutions. He likened the current governance system to a pyramid where power and decision-making authority are concentrated at the top, while the majority of the world's nations remain at the base.
