BRICS Nations Reportedly Agree on Final Declaration Ahead of 18th Summit
Sherpas from BRICS member states finalized the text of the joint declaration before the meeting of heads of state and government, according to a report cited by TASS.

BRICS member nations have reached agreement on the final text of the declaration for the bloc's 18th summit, according to a report by India's NDTV cited by Russia's TASS news agency.
The report indicated that the declaration's text was agreed upon by sherpas — senior officials who conduct preparatory negotiations on behalf of national leaders — prior to the formal meeting of heads of state and government.
Details on the specific contents of the declaration, as well as the exact date and location of the summit, were not immediately available in the report cited by TASS.
BRICS, an intergovernmental grouping originally comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, has expanded its membership in recent years and continues to hold annual summits where member states negotiate joint statements on economic, political and security matters.
Further details on the declaration's contents are expected to be released following the conclusion of the summit meeting.
