BRICS Parliamentary Forum concludes in New Delhi with joint declaration

The 12th BRICS Parliamentary Forum concluded in New Delhi on October 27, 2026, with adoption of a joint declaration, the Lok Sabha Secretariat reported. This is the forum's concluding decision, distinct from the Prime Minister's interaction with delegates on October 26.

According to the Secretariat's account, the declaration supports UN Security Council reform and greater representation of the Global South, condemns cross-border terrorism and terror financing, and reiterates sovereign equality and peaceful settlement of disputes. These are positions expressed in the declaration; the announcement does not mean UN institutions have already been reformed.

The report also describes commitments concerning digital public infrastructure and ethical AI governance. This article relies on the Secretariat's published summary, rather than an independent reading of the linked declaration document.
