BRICS call for 'maximum restraint' amid Middle East conflict
Meeting Saturday in New Delhi, leaders of BRICS member countries—including India, China, Russia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates—set aside their differences to issue a joint appeal for moderation.
Leaders of BRICS member countries succeeded Saturday in New Delhi in overcoming their differences on the Middle East conflict to jointly urge all parties to show 'maximum restraint,' according to France 24.
The group, which includes India, China, Russia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates, made this joint appeal despite sometimes divergent positions among its members on the regional situation, the source notes.
Iran's presence among the signatories underscores the diversity of interests at stake within this bloc, which nonetheless chose to speak with a single voice on this sensitive issue.
France 24 does not specify, in this excerpt, the concrete measures the BRICS are considering to back up this call for restraint, nor the subsequent developments of the New Delhi summit.
