BRICS Negotiators Struggle to Finalize Delhi Declaration
· World · The Hindu, Bernama
Negotiators for the 11-member BRICS bloc are working to reach a consensus on the "Delhi Declaration" as the summit approaches in New Delhi. While member nations have agreed on most of the document, one paragraph remains unresolved due to conflicting views on the war in Iran and attacks on UAE installations. Iran has requested a formal condemnation of U.S. and Israeli actions, while the UAE is seeking equal condemnation of Iranian operations. Officials remain hopeful for a breakthrough, drawing parallels to India's successful effort to forge a joint statement at the 2023 G-20 Summit.
Why it matters
The inability to reach a consensus threatens to stall the joint statement, potentially hindering the bloc's diplomatic unity on Middle Eastern security issues.
