  • Negotiations advanced through the early morning and concluded around 4 a.m., with India consulting delegations to reach wording acceptable to all members.
  • The agreement is viewed as a diplomatic advance because it unites countries with divergent positions on regional and global conflicts.

  • The 18th BRICS Summit theme is 'Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability,' focusing on institutional strengthening and shared development challenges.
