Brics fails to agree on Iran-UAE war stance at New Delhi meeting

During a recent gathering in New Delhi, Brics members Iran and the UAE found themselves at odds over a Middle East conflict, leading to an inability to establish a unified stance. On April 24, Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson for the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, noted that disagreements regarding the situation in 'West Asia' hindered consensus. As the current chair of Brics, India released a milder statement that captured the discussions without a unified position. The members voiced significant concern regarding the events unfolding in the Middle East, addressing issues such as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Lebanon, and the reconstruction efforts in Syria following the conflict.
