The 18th BRICS Summit is underway in New Delhi, marking 20 years since the group's first meeting in 2006. Originally BRIC, the group now includes 11 members representing half the world's population and 40% of global GDP. The summit highlights BRICS' role in fostering multipolarity through institutions like the New Development Bank, with special attention to China-India relations and Iran's membership as a strategic energy hub.

Asia, especially China and India, is at the epicenter of events, while Africa and Latin America remain observers. India seeks to move the Global South away from dependence on the West, but not to allow a new dependence on China. The process is compared to the formation of the UN in 1944–1945.
