India is likely to raise the Pahalgam terror attack during the BRICS summit in Rio this week, sources in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said.

New Delhi is expecting condemnation of the Pakistan-sponsored terror attack in BRICS unlike the meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), where the member countries failed to adopt a joint statement.

PM Modi To Attend BRICS Summit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the BRICS summit in Rio on July 6 and 7.

PM Modi is travelling to Brazil at the invitation of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Prime Minister from July 5-8, 2025, to attend the BRICS Summit, followed by a State Visit.

This will be the Prime Minister’s fourth visit to Brazil. The 17th BRICS Leaders’ Summit will be held in Rio de Janeiro. During the Summit, the Prime Minister will exchange views on key global issues including reform of global governance, peace and security, strengthening multilateralism, responsible use of artificial intelligence, climate action, global health, economic and financial matters.

The Prime Minister is also likely to hold several bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the Summit. For the State Visit to Brazil, the Prime Minister will travel to Brasilia where he will hold bilateral discussions with President Lula on the broadening of the Strategic Partnership between the two countries in areas of mutual interest, including trade, defence, energy, space, technology, agriculture, health and people to people linkages.

BRICS

BRICS brings together 11 major emerging economies of the world, representing around 49.5 per cent of the global population, around 40 per cent of the global GDP and around 26 per cent of the global trade.

BRICS, originally comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, expanded in 2024 to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates, with Indonesia joining in 2025.

The summit of the grouping is likely to deliberate on a range of issues including mainstreaming the interests and aspirations of the Global South, the people cited above said.

The motto of Brazilian chairship is “Strengthening Global South Cooperation for More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance". The summit will culminate in two high-level declarations on financing the climate change regime and the governance of artificial intelligence.
