BRICS Nations Urge Stepped-Up Efforts to De-escalate Middle East Tensions
Summit participants called for protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure amid ongoing regional conflicts, according to TASS.
Leaders and representatives of BRICS nations called for intensified efforts to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East, according to a report by Russian state news agency TASS.
Summit participants emphasized the need to ensure the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure in the region, TASS reported, citing the outcomes of discussions among the bloc's members.
The call comes amid continued instability in parts of the Middle East, where conflicts have raised concerns among the international community about the safety of non-combatants and essential infrastructure.
TASS did not provide further details in the excerpt regarding specific measures proposed by BRICS members to achieve de-escalation, nor did it specify which particular conflicts or flashpoints were addressed in the discussions.
BRICS, which includes major emerging economies, has in recent years increasingly weighed in on global geopolitical issues, including conflicts in the Middle East, as part of its stated aim to represent the interests of the Global South on the world stage.
Additional details on the summit's full agenda, participant statements, and any concrete follow-up actions were not included in the available source material.
