New Delhi is hosting a two-day BRICS Leaders' Summit, bringing together leaders and officials from Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
The Turkish news agency reported that the gathering comes as the ongoing conflict involving Iran has reshaped elements of the global agenda ahead of and during the talks.
Details on the full list of participating leaders, the summit's formal agenda items, and specific outcomes were not immediately available in the initial report.
BRICS, a grouping that has expanded in recent years to include a broader set of countries beyond its founding members, has increasingly positioned itself as a forum for discussing global economic and geopolitical issues among non-Western and emerging economies.
