New Delhi: India is likely to host the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ meeting on May 14-15, the Indian Express reported, citing sources. The meeting is expected to be attended by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko confirmed Lavrov's visit, which is poised to finalize critical documents under India's presidency for the forthcoming BRICS summit.
Alongside BRICS discussions, Lavrov is scheduled for a working visit with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and other officials. The agenda includes strengthening the enduring diplomatic ties and exploring new avenues for cooperation between the two nations.
Depending on the conflict’s situation, Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi might join the BRICS meeting in May — either in person or virtually.
Senior officials of the BRICS countries are in touch with each other for the Foreign Ministers’ meeting, which will ultimately lead to the BRICS leaders’ summit in India, which holds the rotational presidency of the grouping for 2026, later this year.
The BRICS Foreign Ministers are set to discuss the value and importance of multilateralism and multipolarity in the international order, as per the news report.
