Leaders of the BRICS nations are meeting in New Delhi for a summit focused on trade, investment and global conflicts. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is hosting leaders from Russia, China, Iran and other member countries. The summit comes amid wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, along with rising U.S.-China tensions. The leaders are discussing economic cooperation, energy, food security, technology, and reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar. For India, the summit highlights its effort to maintain strategic ties with Russia and Iran while deepening relations with the U.S. and Europe. A key test for India will be securing a joint statement despite differences over the Iran war and ties with the U.S.
