PM Modi to Hold Bilateral Meetings With World Leaders at BRICS Summit in New Delhi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to hold a series of bilateral meetings with visiting leaders during the upcoming BRICS Summit in New Delhi, adding a significant diplomatic dimension to India’s hosting of the grouping.

The 18th BRICS Summit is scheduled to take place in New Delhi on September 12 and 13, bringing together leaders from member countries for discussions on international cooperation, economic issues and challenges affecting the global order. India is holding the BRICS chairmanship this year and is seeking to place greater emphasis on cooperation, resilience and sustainable development.

The bilateral engagements will provide Prime Minister Modi with an opportunity to discuss issues of direct importance to India with leaders attending the summit. While the Ministry of External Affairs has confirmed that several bilateral meetings are planned, the complete schedule and details of individual meetings are expected to be announced through official channels.

The summit comes at a time when international relations are being shaped by geopolitical tensions, changes in global trade and growing competition over technology, energy and strategic resources. These developments are expected to form part of the broader diplomatic environment surrounding the New Delhi meeting.

India’s BRICS presidency has also highlighted areas such as economic cooperation, technological innovation, energy security, healthcare, agriculture and sustainable development. New Delhi has been working to make the expanded grouping more effective while encouraging greater coordination among member states.

The presence of senior leaders from major emerging economies will give India an opportunity to engage with important partners on both bilateral and multilateral issues. Discussions held on the sidelines of the summit could cover subjects ranging from trade and investment to regional security and international cooperation.

The planned bilateral meetings are therefore expected to be an important component of Prime Minister Modi’s engagements during the BRICS Summit. With the event bringing together a broad group of influential countries, New Delhi is likely to use the occasion to strengthen existing partnerships and advance India’s interests on key global issues.

As preparations for the summit continue, the final details of Prime Minister Modi’s bilateral programme are awaited. The meetings, alongside the main BRICS deliberations, are expected to reinforce India’s diplomatic outreach and its role in the evolving international landscape.
