This BRICS security meeting in New Delhi is going to be watched very closely,because Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is set to attend it on June 22-23, 2026 . And honestly,with India-China ties always carrying some tension in background,this visit is not small thing ah.
Meeting will bring together National Security Advisors from 11 BRICS nations,and main focus is security challenges facing international community . Chinese Foreign Ministry has announced this,and idea is to create space for discussion on international and regional security issues.
But of course,when Wang Yi comes to New Delhi,it is not just another routine diplomatic visit . He is also Beijing's Special Representative on the India-China border issue,so his talks with Indian NSA Ajit Doval will naturally get extra attention.
Few things standing out from this meeting:
- Focus on International Security — The meeting will address key global security concerns .
- Preparation for BRICS Summit — Discussions will set stage for September summit in India.
- Strengthening Multilateral Ties — Aims to improve cooperation among BRICS countries .
Lin Jian,spokesperson for Foreign Ministry,said BRICS nations are committed to promoting peace and equitable governance at time when global situation is changing and security challenges are rising . That sounds diplomatic,yes,but context around it is very real.
There are geopolitical tensions in many regions right now,and BRICS countries clearly want to show they are not just economic grouping anymore . They want to talk security,governance,regional disputes,new threats and old ones also .
India currently holds rotating presidency,and upcoming BRICS Summit is planned for September in India . Before that,this NSA-level meeting in New Delhi will work like preparation ground only,where members can test positions and maybe reduce some friction before leaders meet .
BRICS group includes Brazil,China,Egypt,Ethiopia,Indonesia,Iran,Russia,Saudi Arabia,South Africa,and UAE,with India at centre of this round because meeting is happening here . Last BRICS NSAs meeting was hosted by Brazil in Brasilia,so this platform is clearly becoming regular space for security talk inside bloc .
And tbh,the most interesting part will be what happens between Wang Yi and Ajit Doval on sidelines . Public statements may sound calm and polished,but real question is whether there is any movement on India-China trust issues behind closed doors…
